MSJC Performing Arts Dept. presents 'Kiss Me Kate'

The Performing Arts Department at Mt. San Jacinto College will present the musical "Kiss Me Kate" in the San Jacinto Campus Theatre at 1499 N. State Street.

Performance dates and times are April 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 7:30 p.m., and April 15 and 22 at 2:30 p.m. Music and lyrics were written by Cole Porter and the MSJC performance is directed by Payden Ackerman.

The director's description of the musical:

"Passions run high as leading lady Lilli Vanessi and her ex-husband, actor/director Fred Graham, battle onstage and off in a musical production of Shakespeare’s 'Taming of the Shrew.' With romance, comedy, sophistication, and behind-the-scenes high jinx, 'Kiss Me Kate' combines the irreverent humor of two brilliant writers: 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.'"

Ticket prices are $12 general admission, $10 for seniors and $8 for students and veterans. Call the Theatre Box Office at 951-487-3790 or go to msjc.edu/PerformingArts
