High Energy New Play to Benefit DFW Area Trans Community
Jul 15, 2023
Young Local Producers Present an Exciting Adaptation of Shakespeare's Classic, “The Taming of The Shrew”.
Fort Worth, Texas Jul 14, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - A groundbreaking theatrical production promises to captivate audiences and critics alike as it reinvents Shakespeare's timeless comedy, "The Taming of TheShrew." Local talent Rosalind Loren Krabill, a native of Arlington, takes center stage not only as the cunning and manipulative Petruchio but also as the co-director and co-producer alongside Brad DeBorde, Theatre Director at The Oakridge School in Arlington and graduate of The University of North Texas.
Having found their love for acting at The Oakridge School, renowned for its exceptional Drama Department, Rosalind is a senior in the BFA Acting Program at the University of Central Florida and is set to graduate this December. Described as a gender-chaotic adaptation of Shakespeare's original, this electrifying stage show serves a greater purpose by benefiting Finn's Place, a community center for trans and gender-diverse individuals in the DFW area. Ms. Krabill shared their passion for the project: "Our goal with this production is to not only provide an entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical experience but also to support a cause that is near and dear to our hearts."
