Kiss Me Shakes Day 1

Theatre eXceptional’s Advanced Musical Theatre and Shakespeare class team up to bring you the story of an egotistical actor and his ex-wife, who play Petruchio and Kate in a production of "Taming of the Shrew." On and off stage, they bicker and romance in a "battle of the sexes” while the drama unfolds with the cast and their newest, slightly menacing, ensemble members.

Theatre eXceptional’s advanced program trains actors with disabilities to prepare them for real-world professional experiences in the theatre space. In a creative collaboration, the Advanced Musical theatre class plays Fred, Lilli, and the Cast and Crew of “Taming of the Shrew” backstage while the Advanced Shakespeare class portrays their on-stage counterparts in this new take on the classic Cole Porter show-within-a-show musical based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew,  “Kiss Me, Kate.”
