Hey you crazy kids, get ready to be wowed by Lady Shakes Theatre Company’s fresh take on Shakespeare’s The 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!

Make it a night out!
Join us Friday and Saturday night for a swingin’ pre-show cocktail party starting at 6:00 PM. Enjoy a live set of crooner and jazz classics from local singer Susan Hancock, while The Beacon keeps the spirits flowing with a full cocktail bar. You can even pre-order charcuterie boards or hors d'oeuvres from 2 Chefs Catering to enjoy before the show when you buy your tickets. Feel like going full 1950s? Throw on your retro best and don’t forget your dancing shoes!
