A Night in the Theater

By Lawrence Casler

May 17th - June 9th

Two couples are at the theater for their weekly dose of culture.  This week's ordeal is Hamlet.  After the four characters arrive and seat themselves, with some confusion, the play consists of their incessant and hilarious chatter about themselves, their children, a dead friend, and occasionally, Hamlet.  In the midst of laughter, a great deal is revealed about these rude playgoers and their relationships.  The play is not only a comic delight; it is a comedy that bites.

Summer Shakespeare Festival



Taming of the Shrew

July 6th - August 25th

Done in full Elizabethan costume and set against the magnificent backdrop of the historic Vanderbilt mansion, Taming of the Shrew is Shakespeare’s lively, sometimes bawdy, tale of the rambunctious Kate and her love affair with Petruchio. This play reflects the Elizabethan conviction that men owned their wives and consequently had the right to beat them or deny them food or sleep. Petrucio does not beat his new Bride, Kate, but he does deprive her of food, water, and sleep in his efforts to reform her. He mimics her own churlish behavior in the hope that, seeing herself mirrored in him, she will change her ways.
