Kiss Me, Kate
“After all the things you told me and the promises that you gave, oh, why can’t you behave?”
A pre-Broadway production of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew is in rehearsal and almost everything is going well. The one problem is that the leading actor and actress were once married and now argue with each other both onstage as their characters and backstage as themselves. However there are those who think that all the loud disagreements might hide the fact that the two are still in love. Produced in cooperation with Stars Over VEISHEA and ISU Music.
April 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m.; April 10 and 17 at 2:00 p.m.
