UPCOMING SHOWS


2010 Summer Musical - Kiss Me Kate
July 15-18 at 8:30 at Ye Olde Gray Barn

"Kiss me Kate" by Cole Porter
                 YOOH's 31'st Summer Musical
                                    directed by Rachel Grippen and David Storlie

Kiss Me, Kate is a musical with music and lyrics by Cole Porter. It is structured as a play within a play, where the interior play is a musical version of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

Kiss Me, Kate was a comeback and a personal triumph for Cole Porter. Kiss Me, Kate was a response to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and other integrated musicals, and it proved to be his biggest hit and the only one of his shows to run for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway.[1] It won the first Tony Award presented for Best Musical, in 1949.

(there will be no Wednesday night performance in 2010)
