Event Details:  Join your fellow APT members for a merry old time at the Shakespeare Tavern & Playhouse for a production of The Taming of the Shrew.

For the people of Shakespeare's Globe, poetry was a living entity brought into existence through the active relationship of actor, audience, and playwright. Each production is staged so a modern audience experiences the play in a manner consistent with its creator's original intent. ASC productions feature hand-made period costumes, all live music and sound effects, thrilling sword fights, and abundant "direct address" to the audience, all of which is orchestrated to ensure that the passion and poetry of Shakespeare's genius remains at the heart of the theatrical experience. 

Thursday night performances, of which this is one, are open seating on a first-come, first-served basis.  A member of the APT Board will arrive at 5:45 p.m. when the Box Office opens to secure our place in line.  Members should plan on arriving at 6:15 p.m. when the doors open so we can go in and select our seats as a group.  Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and end at approximately 10:00 p.m.

Food and beverage is available for purchase prior to the show (from 6:15 p.m. - 7:20 p.m.) and dessert and beverage is available during the intermission.  Click here to see current food and beverage options. 

Cost:  $25 for the performance; food and beverage purchases are on your own.
