William Shakespeare's
Taming of the Shrew
Produced & Directed by: Frederic DeFeis
July 4 - July 26
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.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
Produced & Directed by: Frederic DeFeis
July 31 - August 30
This mad-cap play is back after a successful run at our Second Stage in December. It strings together Shakespeare’s entire canon with only three actors playing all the parts. No play is sacred as all the histories transform into a gridiron football match. Othello discovers his surprising musical talent in the Senate, and the carnivorous Titus Andronicus hosts his own comic cooking show.
