# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Auditions - Shakespeare Kelowna presents The Taming of The Shrew
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 10 Jan, 2027 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 10 Jan, 2027 at 04:00 pm (-08:00)
- **Event Description**: Shakespeare Kelowna is excited to be presenting The Taming of the Shrew as our outdoor summer play in 2026, adapted and directed by Tanya Laing Gahr.

This bold new adaptation reimagines The Taming of the Shrew as a feminist, Regency- era battle of wits. Shakespeare’s original text remains 95% intact but is reimagined to explore the mutual transformation of two fiercely intelligent individuals—Katherina and Petruchio—as they navigate the constraints of identity, power, and how society expects them to behave. It tells a story that shows strength is not based on domination, but in vulnerability, wit, and the courage to defy convention.
