A Real Good Shrew (review excerpt)
"Kimball’s robust performance as Petruchio was as natural as it was well studied. In his own unabashed manner, Kimball depicted a man whose spirit was as high as Kate’s, though his wit was displayed like a happy-tempered humorist.

In his role as Petruchio, Kimball managed to convey a sense of wisdom and true judgment in his ability to feign a passionate and furious deportment — while his spirits were so calm that he himself could have laughed in merriment at his own angry feigning.

And, in watching Kimball in his portrayal of Petruchio, I really had a sense that he was truly in love with Kate and wanted nothing more than to bring out her graciousness, while keeping her commanding presence safely intact.

Throughout the performance, audiences could be heard chuckling at the highly physical antics of Petruchio and Kate. Kimball’s Petruchio possessed a natural temper that was careless and easy. The boisterous airs he assumed when he became the husband of Kate, managed to affect by his excellent discernment, the only means to overcome Kate, in a way fighting fire with fire."
