Taming of the Shrew

At the Castle Amphitheater Provo

About the Show

William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew produced by Renaissance Now Theatre & Film for their 2024 season.  Directed by Kathy Curtiss, this features an updated script, featuring classic comic characters on their individual quest to find their fortune, and find instead their hearts, and what love means…the labor of love in becoming of one heart and mind.  In the most unlikely setting for this theme, Shakespeare sets Petruchio (Houston Baker) out to woo with the most challenging of circumstances.  In this contemporary setting, the “Shrew” Kate (Sonja Hugo) is portrayed as a young woman trying to stand up for how the world should view & treat women, but is surrounded by challenges:  a parent who misunderstands her, & a community who sees her as a threat.  Along comes the entrepreneur, Petruchio, who falls for her strength, and they start that work of taming the “shrew” in all of us, so we can love freely, bending pride to the beauty of true-hearted loyalty and love.  Features Sonja Hugo, Houston Baker, Dorsey Williams, Elyse Jones, Cilla Harrison, Ethan Freestone, Hyrum Housley, Kat Balenzategui, & Liam Owens.  Voice and Text, Steven Rimke; Assistant Voice, Sasha Wilkinson; Stage manager, Patch Olsen; Assistant Director, Maisie Bunker; Technical Director, Dave Biesinger; Costumes, Jennifer Thornton; and Visual Design by Emma Jade Biesinger.
