The Taming of the Shrew” is a comedic play by William Shakespeare that explres themes of love, marriage, and societal expectations. Our story is set in the year 1999 in the family’s coffee shop. It revolves around the ‘shrewish’ Katherine, whose strong will and sharp tongue make her difficult to get married. Her father decrees she must marry before her younger sister, Bianca, can be courted. A wealthy suitor, Petruchio, is seeking a rich wife and, undeterred by Katherine’s reputation, agrees to marry her. He then embarks on a plan to ‘tame’ her. Meanwhile, Bianca’s many suitors try to win her hand in disguise.
Auditions are at 7 pm on Monday and Tuesday, September 22 & 23, 2025 at the Potomac Playmakers Performing Arts Center, 17303 W. Washington Street, Hagerstown MD.
