The Central Catholic High School music department will perform its 93rd spring musical production, “Kiss Me, Kate.”
The show will take place at the Valentine Theatre at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 6 and 7, and at 3 p.m., Sunday, May 8.
“Both the directors and the students are thrilled to be back at this historic venue, and appreciate the opportunity to have the entire cast on the main stage,” said artistic and vocal director Rebecca Buckman.
The orchestra conductor is Lindsay Draime and choreographer is Angelica Barrow.
Ms. Buckman noted that “Kiss Me, Kate,” composed by Cole Porter in 1948, is based on Shakespeare’s play “The Taming of the Shrew.”
“I picked this particular production for the writing style and memorable songs. Teaching this ‘show within a show’ has exposed the students to both Shakespeare’s wit and the romantic style of an older era. We look forward to seeing you at the show.”
Tickets are on sale through the Valentine box office by calling 419-242-2787, or visit the box office, 410 Adams Street, in downtown Toledo.
