 Join the Brevard College Theatre Department as they present Shakespeare�s comedy "The Taming of the Shrew" October 20-23 in the Morrison Playhouse at the College�s Porter Center for Performing Arts.The fall production is directed by Dr. Kelly Carolyn Gordon, assistant professor and coordinator of the Theatre Studies major at Brevard College, with commedia work by David S. Sebren. Bianca Minola (Erika Packard) is one of the most beautiful � and wealthy � women in all of Padua. Bianca has potential suitors lined up at her door. However, her mother, Baptista (Jennifer Jones-Galyean), will not allow Bianca to marry until her ill-reputed, feisty older sister Katherina (Jordan Kahill) is wed. A fresh transplant from Verona, Petruchio (Addison Dent) is allured by rumors of Katherina�s wealth, beauty and the irresistible thrill of a challenge. But will he succeed? Sharp wits and words are feverishly exchanged, amid hilarious slapstick comedy, in Shakespeare�s farce that challenges society�s assumptions about gender and marriage. According to actress Jordan Kahill, �The work we have been doing for this show really is a new challenge for most of the cast. Commedia, and the slap stick comedy that comes with it, had been both entertaining and trying for all of us, but it definitely is going to produce a fantastically amusing play.� More recently known as the inspiration for the Hollywood teen film 10 Things I Hate About You and the Cole Porter musical Kiss Me Kate, the play is sure to entertain those of all ages. Tickets are $5 each. Seating is general admission. Curtain time is at 8 p.m. October 20-22, and 2 p.m. on October 23.
