Ruth Greenwell Taming of the Shrew Taming of the Shrew THE TAMING OF THE SHREW For the first time in many years Weber College students undertook the presentation of a Shakespearian play. The attempt proved successful after The Taming of the Shrew played for a full house on three consecutive nights, March 3, 4, and 5. The story of The Taming of the Shrew was concerned with Petruchio's (James Andrews) adroit taming of the shrewish Katherine (Aurline Osmond) so that she became a dutiful wife. The sub-plot carried on another love affair between Katherine's supposedly sweet sister, Bianca (Florence Frances) and her many suitors of which Lucentio (Ronald Cole) was the victor. Other characters in the play were Howard Randall as Hortensio, Bowman Hawkes as Gremio, Babtista, the worried father of the two girls, as portrayed by Aaron Roylance, Vicentio, Lucentio's outraged pater, as played by Earl Read, and Ruth Greenwell as the rich but catty widow Hortensio finally marries. The comedy was successfully carried by Alvin Gordon as Petruchio's fool servant and Henry Jensen as the slightly more intelligent Biondella. The Taming of the Shrew was directed and produced by Thatcher Allred with Wayne Bundy as student assistant and stage manager. Leon Packer was business manager. Taming of the Shrew
