The Taming of the Shrew

Director Christine Nicholson brings her “throw-in-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink” British panto style to this production of a play oft-criticized as anti-feminist, revealing the farce within. Delightful, with Shakespearean costumes. F 7/22 8pm, Th 7/28 8pm, Sa 7/30 8pm. $15-$18; children 6-12 are free. Sacramento Shakespeare Festival in the William A. Carroll Amphitheatre in William Land Park, 3901 Land Park Dr.; (916) 558-2228; www.sacramentoshakespeare.net.
