THE TAMING Runs Sept. 30-Oct. 8

VP_The Taming color logoTHE TAMING
Village Players
Sept. 30-Oct. 8
[Fort Thomas]

Directed by Betsy Bossart
Produced by Jen Fischer Davis

Cast: Katie Jensen as Katherine/George & Martha Washington/Dolley Madison, Heather Abbott as Bianca/Intern/Charles Pinckney, Catherine Cook as Patricia/James Madison, Rachel Baker as Stage Manager/Miss America Announcer/Victoria “The Knife” Castelliano

Tweetering, pandashrews, and undying giddiness for James Madison — what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant? In this hilarious, raucous, all-female “power-play” inspired by Shakespeare’s Shrew, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator’s aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Here’s lookin’ at you, America.
