5. Shakespeare in the Park 1/15- 1/17/10
You don’t have to wait for summer to enjoy Shakespeare in the Park. The company will kick-start 2010 with a three-day production of The Taming of the Shrew in ritzy Coconut Grove.
This Shakespearean classic is about Petruchio, a newlywed man whose actions lead the audience to believe he’s quite insane, when he’s only worried that marrying a headstrong woman will inevitably lead to cuckoldry, making him the center of public ridicule. (Cuckoldry – having a wife cheat or be publicly domineering.)
Along with the production, Children’s tea with Story hour will be January 16 at noon.
