Boomerang Theatre Company returns to Central Park June 20–July 19, 2026 with a spirited, contemporary outdoor production of The Taming of the Shrew.

Kate has no patience for suitors—and even less for the rules that say she must marry before her younger sister can. Armed with wit, fury, and the occasional fist, she’s kept every match at bay.

Until Petruchio arrives, eager for the challenge.

In this battle of wills, who ends up transformed?

Two powerful new plays make their world premieres with Boomerang in early 2027.

In Brilliance by Lauren Ferebee, when a marine biologist returns home after the sudden death of her husband, she's forced to confront her grief, her shaken sense of identity, and a long-strained relationship with her mother. As buried resentments surface, both mother and daughter must decide what happens now. 

In Lifeguard by Kristen Palmer, three lives intersect at a public pool: a recent high school graduate, a dropout without direction, and a teacher stalled by old regrets. An altruistic offer of help snowballs into conversation about self-determination, accountability and how we can try to heal our pasts.
