The Taming of the Shrew

Reframed with a cast of all women and nonbinary characters to center the dynamics of power exchange in relationships, this production will explore how power inversions can lead to happy endings.

Director Susan Wismar brings this timeless comedy to the outdoor stage at Schiller Park, where the open sky and summer evenings give Shakespeare's language room to breathe. With a dynamic ensemble cast and a production that embraces both the comedy's humor and its complexities, this Shrew promises to be a vibrant, thought-provoking start to the season.
