Smothers Theatre

The Pepperdine Theatre Department’s production of The Taming of the Shrew promises to be anything but tame. In this unbridled new spin on Shakespeare’s comedic battle of the sexes, themes of cross-dressing, gender roles, love, power, relationships, and companionship are explored and raucous heights are reached when the shrew is truly put on the other foot . . . Scott Alan Smith directs Andrew Borba’s celebrated version that thrilled audiences at the famed Chautauqua Theatre Company.

Join a talk back with the actors and director after the Wednesday performance.
