DESCRIPTION

They are at it again, the folks who brought you last years smash hits "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" and "Cannibal the Musical" are turning their irreverent eyes, as they do every summer, to the Bard.

Theater Artists Olympia is proud to announce their upcoming production of William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" but because they are TAO you know there has to be a twist, so they have found it by setting Shrew in Hades.

Katherina Minola has a problem. She is stuck in Hades; her dad is the devil; her sister is a strumpet; and she is surrounded by buffoons. He father has decreed that before her sister can marry, Kate herself must wed. Enter larger than life Petruchio; he has decided to make this"Devils Dam" his wife. He may wed her, but before he will bed her, he must win her love.

This is Shakespeare at his bawdy best. And TAO is up to the challenge. Be ready for an evening full of clowns, devils, pirates, and pole dancers. Please join Olympia's most ecclectic theater troupe for Shakespeare's hilarious and hot(it is Hades after all)production of The Taming of the Shrew.

Rated PG-13: Not recommended for children under 13.

~~$5.00 TICKETS PREVIEW THURSDAY NIGHT JUNE 28th AT THE DOOR ONLY~~FIRST COME FIRST SERVED! Office box open by 6:45pm.
