This production is dedicated to the memory of Duane Davy. Duane was a longtime heavy contributor to our theatre. After many years of backstage support, he was scheduled to make his stage debut in Taming of the Shrew. Duane died on Tuesday, Oct 9, during the rehearsal period, at age 59. He will be greatly missed and was irreplaceable. His was a life well lived.
Requiescat In Pace.
Our production featured
Arin Mulvaney as Katherina, and
Luke Hamilton as Petruchio.
