Tweetering, pandashrews, and undying giddiness for James Madison -- what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant? In this hilarious, raucous, all-female "power-play" inspired by Shakespeare's Shrew, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Here's lookin' at you, America. Read More

Published Reviews

Lauren Gunderson's clever play The Taming forces us with humor and provocation to take a hard look at the phenomenon of a democracy in action.

Julie McHale, gmtoday

"So many hysterical lines in the play that you'd hardly finish laughing at one before the next hit you."

KQED Arts

"Gunderson's Taming is a laugh riot with some timely food for thought."

Rob Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle

"The Taming has much to offer that is pointed, thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny."

Chad Jones, Theater Dogs

"The most tremendously entertaining civics lesson you're likely to see."

Sam Hurwitt, The Idiolect
