Casting Teen Performers for "The Taming of the Shrew" Show

Seeking talents ages 17 and up for "The Taming of the Shrew" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: Set against the playful backdrop of a 1950s sitcom, this lively take on Shakespeare’s classic comedy brings a fresh twist to a timeless tale. The Taming of the Shrew is a fast-paced battle of the sexes featuring a cast of madcap characters. The clever Petruchio must match wits with the fiercely independent Kate, while the lovestruck Lucentio gets tangled in a web of mistaken identities as he vies for the hand of the beautiful Bianca. Will love conquer all—or will these couples remain at odds forever?
