Kiss Me, Kate

A Youth Rep Ensemble Production
Book, Music & Lyrics by Anaïs Mitchell

July 23 – 26, 2026

After a 5-week intensive professional theatre training, our Youth Repertory Ensemble will culminate by performing Kiss Me, Kate in the JiGaSa Theatre!

Passions run high as leading lady Lilli Vanessi and her ex-husband, actor/director Fred Graham, battle onstage and off in a production of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. With romance, comedy, sophistication, and behind-the-scenes high jinks, Kiss Me, Kate combines the irreverent humor of four brilliant writers: Sam and Bella Spewack, Cole Porter ,and William Shakespeare.

Musical numbers include So In Love, Wunderbar, Tom, Dick or Harry, Too Darn Hot, Brush Up Your Shakespeare, I Hate Men, Always True to You (In My Fashion), and Another Op’nin, Another Show.
