Kiss Me, Kate Opens on the Mainstage: The classic, quintessential Broadway
musical Kiss Me, Kate depicts the backstage and onstage antics of two
feuding romantic couples during a production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Cole Porter’s memorable music and
irresistible lyrics are just two of the reasons this enchanting musical was
described by The New York Times as “an elegant, nimble dream of a show, one of
the rare perfect achievements of the American musical theater.” Directed by Chanda Calentine with musical
direction by Brad Curtioff. Kiss
Me, Kate opens Friday, June 7, 2013 and will run through Sunday, June
30, 2013 with performances on Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 pm and Sunday
afternoons at 2:30 pm. Tickets range from
$15.00-$25.00 and are available in person or over the phone (828-254-1320) at
the ACT Box Office or online at www.ashevilletheatre.org.
