The Taming of the Shrew (Carousel Theatre)
The folks of Carousel Theatre have been involved in social media for a while and one of the things I’ve enjoyed the most is how they share other people’s stuff and engage with the community at large (I often use this as an example of how the theatre companies in Vancouver actually do sometimes a better job of using Twitter and other social networking platforms to build community than businesses).
Anyways, Carousel Theatre recently contacted me to tell me about their upcoming production, The Taming of the Shrew (a Shakespeare classic).
From July 30 to August 14 we are presenting The Taming of the Shrew. Carousel Theatre’s Teen Shakespeare Program takes 16 talented teenagers through a four-week intensive rehearsal process, culminating in a fully staged production presented free to the public. Every summer families come down to the beautiful Performance Works outdoor stage to enjoy some sunshine and live theatre free of charge. This year’s show The Taming of the Shrew is set in the Moulin Rouge and features a can-can number!
I love how Carousel Theatre emphasizes making theatre accessible for all audiences, it’s such an important part of culture. Don’t get me started on the BC arts budget cuts! Anyways, I hope many of you will be able to check this production. I definitely will try!
