Children and youth from the neighborhood will be appearing – this weekend only – in a rare production of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew – with all the gender’s flipped: Kate the Shrew is Jake the Cur, Bianca the sought after sister, is a boy, Bianco, who all the girls are after.
The Los Angeles Drama Club is the Country’s youngest Shakespeare troupe. Serving the community since 2004, many of its players are now in middle or high school and continue to stick with Shakespeare (and The Los Angeles Drama Club). Children in the show attend local schools: Larchmont Charter, St. Brendans, Milken Community School, Larchmont Charter West, Culver City Middle.
