Problem Plays: The Taming of the Shrew with Elyse Sharp and Kourtney Smith

Join Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp as we explore the many possibilities of producing the Taming of the Shrew and decide whether we still need to produce it at all. Kourtney Smith (she/her) is an actor, educator and amateur Shakespeare scholar living in Los Angeles. Due to covid-19, she's taken a little break from performance. While she hopes to return to the stage soon, she's happily nerding out over Shakespeare and early modern studies and plans to return to school in the fall for her masters degree. When she's not podcasting, she enjoys being outdoors hiking, biking or planting trees; reading books that aren't Shakespeare-related and visiting new and exciting places.Elyse Sharp (she/her) is an actor, producer, and amateur Shakespeare scholar based in Sacramento, CA. She has served as a private Shakespeare instructor and acting coach for the past seven years and has been a guest lecturer on Shakespeare at several high schools throughout California. She has a life-goal to perform in all plays of Shakespeare's canon at least once. So far, she's done 15 out of 39. When she's not thinking about Shakespeare, she can often be found working on new plays and theatre for young audiences. For more, visit elysesharp.com.
