Shakespeare in the Park: Taming of the Shrew

Take Note Troupe’s production of The Taming of the Shrew is a lively, laugh-filled comedy the whole family can enjoy.

The story follows the strong-willed Katherina and the confident, quick-talking Petruchio as their playful battle of words turns into one of Shakespeare’s most outrageous romances. Along the way, silly disguises, mistaken identities, and over-the-top suitors create plenty of comic chaos as Katherina’s sister Bianca finds herself at the center of the fun.

Presented as a colorful Bollywood-style outdoor production, this high-energy performance features vibrant characters, joyful movement, and big laughs—perfect for families, picnics in the park, and a fun evening together at your local park.

Bring low-backed chairs that sit close to the ground or picnic blankets and a light jacket for after dark. We recommend picking up dinner at a local eatery to enjoy during the show.

Please plan to arrive between 6:30 pm and 7:15 pm so that we can help you find a seat. The show will begin at 7:30 pm.
