The Taming of the Shrew
Blossoming beauty Bianca can’t get married until her caustic older sister Kate has tied the knot. But who can tame wild Kate? Hip Hop Dancing and San Francisco’s Leather Fair meet Italian Commedia dell'Arte in this wild exploration of Shakespeare's Classic. It’s a production of The Taming of the Shrew unlike any other!
"The Cutting Ball's artistic director, Rob Melrose, has a talent for mining classics for hidden themes and bringing musty old texts to life with intelligent physicality and arresting visual metaphor." - SF Weekly

Volunteer at the Larkin
Street Youth Services Drop-In Center
Join Princeton alumni in helping Larkin Street Youth Services in their
mission to respond to the unique needs of homeless and runaway youth
on the streets of San Francisco. Larkin Street has worked over the
years to meet both the immediate and long-term needs of the young
people they serve.
Our primary responsibility at Larkin Street will be to prepare a hot
lunch at the Drop-In Center. The youth at the center will be
encouraged to help out with the cooking, as it is an important life
skill for them to learn and would provide for some meaningful
interaction. We will also help with property refurbishment (most
likely painting).
Please note that all volunteers at Larkin Street must be atleast 21
years of age.
