The Taming of the Shrew

dates: Aug. 10 - Sept. 3, 2006
8 p.m. Thursday — Sunday

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments,” says our poet. It seems to be a lesson he himself learned the hard way. The lesson being: To become ‘true’, first some minds have to be changed – at whatever the cost and the ‘impediments’! In a very modern and very true ‘take’ on the original, OSP sets this love story in the historical heart of our own Southwest. Come see how well Shakespeare’s Padua and our own Wild West share strong-willed women, manly men, all manner of ‘varmints’ and a raucously funny evening in the theatre.
