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.
