Under the Stars: picnic and theater play!

Let's unwind after a long work week with a picnic and a one-of-a kind theathre play in the park!

We will gather on the lawn of the Samuell-Grand Amphitheater to experience Shakespeare's classic comedy The Taming of the Shrew, a production that reframes the timeless battle of wits between Katherine and Petruchio with a contemporary lens and rich cultural vibrancy.

​This innovative staging, a modern verse translation by Amy Freed, transports the play to the Texas borderlands of the 1880s and is told in both English and Spanish. ​Watch as the eccentric Petruchio attempts to "tame" the sharp-tongued Katherina, all while the lovesick Lucentio schemes to win the heart of her sister, Bianca. Who will emerge victorious in this clash of wills?
