Unique twist on “the Taming of the Shrew” at Ridge’s annual Shakespeare in the Park
It’s show time!
Bay Ridgeites are once again gearing up for the annual Shakespeare in the Park production at Narrows Botanical Garden, now in its fifth year. Presented by Act-Out! Acting School, this year artistic director John Stillwaggon along with veteran and new cast members will reinterpret the playwright’s famous comedy “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Stillwaggon is excited to tackle the show, as he found it to be relevant to today’s social issues. “I’ve always been taken by this play because it’s an interesting and entertaining battle of the sexes. It’s an interesting analysis on gender roles,” said Stillwaggon, who has directed all but one of the local Shakespeare in the Park productions.
