Outstanding Direction

“Everything came together, from concept to casting to execution, in Johnna Wright’s electrifying production…”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Shrew… is a wild mosaic of wit, situation comedy, character-based humour, slapstick and contrived complications.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Wright cleverly sets the play in the 1960s, when women in so-called girl groups sang about how much they needed male attention. The neediness in those lyrics captures the innocence of the age and is used as an ironic counterpoint…”  The Sheaf

“Together, [Hyde and Beaudry] are a pleasure to watch; the scene where they first square off, trading rapid-fire barbs, is so sharp and so fast it’s like it had its own verbal fight choreographer.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix 

“One fine day, you’re going to want to see this show.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
