Lean and Hungry Theater is a Washington DC-based company that does one-hour radio drama adaptations of Shakespeare, and presents them on WAMU 88-5fm, DC's local NPR affiliate.
Our Taming of the Shrew has been plucked out of Padua, Italy, and dropped in San Antonio de Padua, Mexico. This production puts a Latin flair on Shrew by setting it in the world of the Mexican radionovela (radio soap opera) called La Fierecilla Domada.
We'd love to have you in the audience for our live broadcast, but if you can't make it, we'll be streaming live online at wamu.org. Show time is 6pm on Sunday Feb 3. Yes, it interferes with the Super Bowl. Yes, a local team is playing in the Super Bowl. I know. But if you don't mind missing the first little bit of the game, please come see us! Or at least tune in on the radio/online
Tickets to the live broadcast performance (which features six actors playing all the roles* and doing live foley!) are available
here for $20. The performance is hosted by the Women's National Democratic Club, at their historic Whittemore House at 1526 New Hampshire Ave NW (Dupont).

*Okay, the six actors are only playing MOST of the roles. We did have to cut a few. The whole production is an hour long, give me a break
