The Taming of the Shrew
September 19–October 19
Told in both English and Spanish and set in the Texas borderlands of the 1880s, this production reframes the classic battle of wills between Katherine and Petruchio with cultural vibrancy and a contemporary lens. Lucentio loves Bianca but cannot court her until her shrewish older sister Katherina marries. The eccentric Petruccio marries the reluctant Katherina and uses a number of tactics to render her an obedient wife. Lucentio marries Bianca and, in a contest at the end, Katherina proves to be the most obedient wife.
