The Taming
September 17, 2026 - October 4, 2026
A beauty pageant becomes an unlikely crossroads of ambition, ideology, and identity. Amid the glitter and spectacle, Katherine isn’t just competing for a crown, she's rewriting history. Smart, driven, and unapologetically bold, she dreams of reshaping American politics as fiercely as she chases the spotlight.
By forcing two political opponents into the same room, a tightly wound aide to a powerful conservative senator and an idealistic liberal blogger, each is forced to confront what they believe, what they fear, and who they might become.
Loosely based on William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, this witty, three-woman comedy invites audiences to laugh, listen, and recognize themselves in the chaos of democracy.
