The Taming of the Shrew
The courtship is complicated, the comedy is raucous, and the moon is full. The Rustic Mechanicals are bringing their 2026 Howl at the Moon Tour to the Black Box Arts Center on Saturday, April 11, 2026, for two performances only.
Known for their accessible and energetic approach, the Mechanicals are set to unleash Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew—a play that proves finding your perfect match is rarely a quiet affair.
"We are bringing the rowdy, the romantic, and the ridiculous to Shepherdstown," said Jim Warren, production director. "This production is fast-paced and full of the verbal sparring matches that make this play a timeless comedy. It’s the perfect way to spend a Saturday."
Audiences can choose between a matinee at 2:00 PM or an evening performance at 7:30 PM. Whether you’re Team Kate or Team Petruchio, you’re in for a wild ride.
Hedda Gabler
Join us for our production of Hedda Gabler by Chase D. Fowler.
Hedda is a sharp and intelligent woman trapped in a loveless marriage with the academic George Tesman. Bored and stifled by her bourgeois existence, she seeks excitement and control through manipulation and cruelty. Her actions, driven by a desire for power and a yearning for a life of passion, ultimately lead to tragedy for herself and those around her.
To Those Who Love the Moon
Join us for an anthology of pieces about love, resilience, and, of course, the moon.

The Greenhouse/They Have Become the Forest
Join us for the joint production of The Greenhouse by J. Harvey Stone and workshop presentation of They Have Become the Forest by Aly Kantor.
The Greenhouse: “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” - Peter, Paul, and Mary
It's 1972, and a group of five undergraduate men meet every Tuesday and Thursday night at a greenhouse on the campus of the College of William & Mary. They gather together in this queer safe space that seems to have been a haven for the college's gay men for many years. The threat of a new club on campus has the men worried as they come to terms with what they mean to each other and how much they need the greenhouse.
They Have Become the Forest
Many Greek myths begin and end in the forest of Arcadia. Most of them end with the death or transformation of the women involved. 'they have become the forest' imagines the lives of two such women before their myth begins—the naiads Daphne and Sy, members of Artemis’s hunt. In this campfire story, they fall in love, grapple with consumption, identity, and courage, and leave audiences with a powerful call to action to support their queer loved ones in a dynamic, often unsafe world.
