Hey you crazy kids, get ready to be wowed by Lady Shakes Theatre Company’s fresh take on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, set in the cool world of 1950s suburbia! With an all-women cast bringing a little razzle-dazzle and plenty of moxie, this satire-packed production flips the script on the classic comedy, asking, “Who’s taming who?” Full of witty banter, rebellious charm, and a whole lotta heart, this show dives into themes of identity, independence, and love with a bang. Don’t miss this rockin’ production—it's a gas, and you’ll be talking about it for ages!
Join us Friday and Saturday night for a swingin’ pre-show cocktail party you won’t want to miss! A live singer and pianist duo will set the mood with all your favorite crooner and jazz classics, while The Beacon offers a full cocktail bar to keep the spirits flowing. You can even pre-order charcuterie or hors d’oeuvres to enjoy before the show—details on food ordering coming soon. Feeling the 1950s vibe? Come dressed in your retro best and don’t forget your dancing shoes!
