Taming of the Shrew
Taming of the Shrew is considered one of Shakespeare’s “problem plays,” specifically because it explores women’s role in marriage and society in ways that are at once side-splittingly funny and deeply controversial. Our interpretation of the play will be playful and bold, tackling the themes head-on so that audiences will be entertained but also provoked to think, to debate, and to question. Michael Henrici will direct and play the male lead, Petruchio, opposite his wife, Danielle Henrici, as Kate. They will be joined on stage by a superb cast of local actors.
Our audiences best describe their theater experience with us on Facebook:
“It’s mesmerizing – the acting and directing capture the essence of a story of love in difficult times, all against the backdrop of the beautiful lake and the museum. I attended the August 24th performance and was very moved. By any means, go.”
