Klein Theatre
The Shakespeare Theatre Company Academy is a Master of Fine Arts program that trains actors to work with classical language and embody mythic storytelling. This is classical work in its purest form: energetic and lean, with a focus on actors, language, and story.
After completing a one-year intensive program of coursework spanning classical text study, stage combat, and more, the Class of 2025 performs two plays in repertory as the culmination of their training: The Taming of the Shrew, Or, Petruchio is Kated and King John.
Tickets are $20 for the general public.
The Taming of the Shrew
Or, Petruchio is Kated
Directed by Shanara Gabrielle
By William Shakespeare
In this sharp-tongued Shakespeare classic, the tables are turned and the taming gets tangled. Petruchio may arrive ready to dominate, but Kate’s no easy prey—and might just be holding the reins all along. Meanwhile, Lucentia poses as a tutor and schemes to woo the radiant Bianca with help from her quick-witted servant Trania, who’s playing Lucenti-o in public and pulling strings in secret. Gender bends. Power flips. Love gets messy. Nothing is what it first appears.
