What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? Chemistry!
It’s a clash of jabs and japes when the adventure-seeking Petruchio sets his sights on the independent Kate. Two of the sexiest characters in all of Shakespeare’s canon set off sparks in a clash of wits that is as funny as it is romantic.
Audience Reviews
What People Are Saying
The greatest compliment that I can pay to this tremendously powerful production [...] is that for almost two and a half hours I did not once squirm in my seat, check the time, or maybe even take a breath. This Cat on a Hot Tin Roof redefines riveting theater.
Doug Sturdivant
DFW Center Stage
True art is to address challenging topics and weave in a thick thread of humor; Folsom's vision made this art possible. Don't miss out on the realization of this vision of a Checkhov classic.

In the relatively recent history of The Classics Theatre Project, I have stood in awe of their brilliance for staging from the theatre canon, and making them vibrant, accessible and relevant. Their treatments are intelligent and entertaining, with a keen and kinetic spin.
