Shakespeare Theatre Company The Taming of the Shrew Sidney Harman Hall 610 F St, NW, Washington, DC 202.547.1122 Free!
Host: Mike |
The Shakespeare Theatre Company's Free For All is a much-loved Washington tradition, offering free performances of a Shakespearean classic to the general public. With The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare gives us the improbable courtship of the fiery-tongued Katherine by the arrogant Petruchio. But unlike Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play does not stop with the wedding. Shakespeare considers the institution of marriage, the rifts between men and women and the rough journey toward love. One of Shakespeare's earliest and most popular comedies, the Taming of the Shrew bursts with disguise, deception and devilment. Tickets are subject to availability and are distributed started 2 hours before the performance. RSVP to Mike by Thursday, Sept 1 at mike1521@aol.com or 202.543.7409 Directions: Gallery Place-Chinatown station (Red, Yellow and Green Lines) Use the Arena/7th St exit.

The Georgian-style mansion, designed by John Deibert in 1926, was originally build for Mrs. Henry Parsons Erwin. In decorating Hillwood, Marjorie Merriwather Post hired the New York architect Alexander McIlvaine to redesign and expand the old mansion completely so that visitors could view her by-now extensive collection with greater ease.
