- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Sun, 19 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Step into the whirlwind world of “Kiss Me, Kate,” where backstage drama, onstage chaos, and romantic sparks collide in one of Broadway’s most iconic musical comedies. 

Passions flare as leading lady Lilli Vanessi and her ex-husband, actor/director Fred Graham, reunite — reluctantly — to star together in a musical production of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. What follows is a hilarious and heartfelt battle of wills, wits, and wounded pride, both behind the curtain and center stage. 

With a blend of romance, sharp comedy, sophisticated storytelling, and unforgettable backstage antics, Kiss Me, Kate brings together the brilliant talents of Sam and Bella Spewack, Cole Porter, and William Shakespeare. Expect dazzling musical numbers, snappy dialogue, and a spirited look at love in all its dramatic glory.
