​

“Where superficial productions of this Shakespeare classic play for archetypes, InnerMission’s Shrew complicates these characters, leaving the audience to question: “Who is right, and who is wrong?” Is Petruchio a masochistic manipulator, a psychotherapist, or a rebranding master marketer? Does Kate play along? Has she lost her sense of independence, or has
she been brainwashed? Can/should a shrew be tamed?”

-John Reimer, San Diego Reader

​

"In her red dress, red lipstick and red stilettos, Kym Pappas is a formidable presence as Katherina, she of the sharp wit and sharper tongue." 
-Pat Launer, Times of San Diego

 

“There’s more to Kym Pappas’ Katherina than the maverick misandrist — as often as not, Pappas plays her fairly quietly and downcast, as if a distant hurtful memory sparks her disdain for men, Petruchio in particular. It’s an interesting contrast against Petruchio’s unbroken bombast, with Steve Froehlich striking a jut-jawed pose to his unrepentant character.”
-Martin Jones Westlin, San Diego Story

 

“Highlights of the show: Froehlich and Pappas, who make fine adversaries as Petruchio and Kate, and even pretty fine allies. Jamie Channell Guzman’s Bianca is absolute charmer, and her array of suitors (Kevin Six (Hortensio), Alex Guzman (Lucentio) and a gender-bending Kira Vine as Gremio) are an amusing lot.”
-Jean Lowerison, SDGLN
