10 Aug '16

The Taming of the Shrew opens onAugust 20-21, 27-28 at 6:00 pm at The Canal ways Center, Lock IV Park and St. Helena III Twosisters - one a sweet innocent girl, while the other an obnoxious, demanding,and unpleasing person. The problem isthat the sweet, innocent girl is the youngest and her mother says that the onlyway she can wed one of her many suitors is to get someone to marry her olderobnoxious sister first. That problem iscompounded when no one, and I mean no one, wants the honor of taking the oldersister’s hand in marriage. The oldersister is also in no hurry to get married. The younger sister and the suitors can only lament. That is until one of the suitors remembersthat there is an obnoxious and demanding man who lives in the hinterlands. The suitors summon this unlikely person tocome to town and woo the older sister, who is very determined to spurn hisadvances. Unfortunately for her, theyounger sister and their mother are very determined to get her married. They collaborate with the suitors to cause adeception. Thus, in a nutshell, is theplot to The Taming of the Shrew, byWilliam Shakespeare. Come for a pleasantevening of Shakespeare, while cruising on the canal, as the Canal FultonPlayers present this absolutely raucous comedy on August 20-21, 27-28 at 6:00pm on the St. Helena III, Lock 4 Park, and the Canal Ways Center, 125 WestTuscarawas Street, Canal Fulton, Ohio. The cost of the performance and cruise on the canal is $23.00. Not only is a suitor hired to woo the oldersister but the various suitors use various forms of deception to win the handof the fair young sister. By the time theclimax of the play occurs, there is so much confusion as to who is with whomand who actually the shrew is. Starringin this fine comedy are Shawna Shaw as Katharine, the tart tongued oldersister, Katherine, Geri Marken as fair Bianca, Cindy Bagocius as Baptista, theharried mother, Zach Donahue as Petruchio, the town braggart hired to wooKatharine, Josh Rowe, as Hortensio, the suitor who hires Petruchio, CharlesHayward, as Gremio, the older suitor who has ideas of his own, Daniel Schmidt,as Lucentio, the young student who is willing to shed his identity for love,Nathan Schmidt as Tranio, the loyal servant who aids Lucentio, and David VanGaasbeek, as Vincentio, the loving but confused father of Lucentio and masterof Tranio. Also appearing are MelanieSneir, the first weekend, and Chuck Bonakowski, the second weekend as Grumio,Petrucchio’s loyal but sarcastic servant, Michal Donahue, as Biondella,Baptista’s earnest but confused servant, and Sharon Nolan, in multiple roles. Producingand directing this play with a great assist from assistant director CharlesHayward is David Van Gaasbeek. “Thewhole concept of this play is to give the audience a new surreal experience inwhich the cast is all over the place performing as the audience drifts down thecanal to Lock IV Park and back to and from the Canal Ways Center,” says Mr. VanGaasbeek. “Shakespeare is a wonderfulplaywright who mastered the art of comedy by giving the director and his or hercast free license to do anything they wanted because he gave no stagedirections except entrance and exit. Theactors can really go over the top without violating the tenor of the story.” Ticketscan be purchased by calling 330-854-6835.
