About the Play
Professional guest director Bruce Hostetler directs this hilarious Shakespearian romp. Young Lucentio loves Bianca, but he already has two problems: first, Bianca already has several suitors; second, Bianca’s father has declared that no one may court Bianco until her older sister, the ill-tempered Katherine, is married. Fortunately, Lucentio’s friend, Petruchio, arrives in Padua to find a wife. He intends to marry a rich woman and agrees to marry Katherine sight unseen. But will he survive the relationship? Can love exist without compromises?
Producers: Sherry Moir, Joan Karstensen and Helene Clark
