'Kiss Me Kate' To Open On March 12
On March 12th, 13th, and 14th the Broadway musical Kiss Me Kate, by Cole Porter, will be presented in the auditorium by the Music Department. This year's show will run three nights due to the success of last year's show, Brigadoon.
Playing the parts of the leading characters in the show will be Karen Rivard '64, as Lilli Vanessi, and Davis Hall '64, as Fred Graham. Dave Grant '64, and Debbie Quinn '65, will be understudies.
Kiss Me Kate is a comical take‑off on Shakespeare's The Taming of The Shrew. When asked about the show, Mr. Robert Kuite, musical director, commented, "Kiss Me Kate should be a great deal of fun to put on here. It is going to require a lot of work, but a first rate performance will be delivered."
