Don’t miss the Grand Theatre’s production of Kiss Me Kate, a comedy/musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. The play revolves around the production of a play, Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. The two main actors in the play are recently divorced making their jobs rather interesting since their parting was not very amicable. There is fighting, misunderstandings, and a case of mistaken identity making the production of the play rather precarious. You won’t want to miss how it all turns out.

The show can be seen at the Grand Theatre on April 1 – 2, 2011. Showtimes are April 1st at 7 PM, April 2nd at 2 PM and 7 PM.

Tickets can be purchased in advance for $10 adults, $7 students. Tickets purchased at the door are $15 adults, $12 students. For more information and details call 770-386-7343.
