The self-centered performer Fred Graham (Phillip Rogers) is reunited with his ex-wife Lilli Vanessi (Jessica Carrier) in the leading roles of Petruchio and Kate in Taming of the Shrew. Throughout the show they fight and obviously still love each other. Also, two former cabaret performers cast in Taming of the Shrew, Lois Lane (Christa Sena) and Bill Calhoun (Chris Echesabal) struggle to keep their romance alive, as Lois has fallen for Fred and Bill has a gambling problem. Meanwhile, due to mistaken identity, two gangsters (Josh Stutz and Derrick Szarmach) harass Fred for money Bill spent gambling.

ODU Student Theatre presents Philip King’s World War II farce See How They Run.
See How They Run is set in the English village of Merton-cum-Middlewick. It is a farce of mistaken identities as the vicarage is besieged with an escaped Nazi prisoner-of-war, the arrival of a visiting bishop and a locum priest, all at the same time.
