WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School will present the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Feb. 29, March 1, and March 2, 2024, at 7 p.m. in the school's auditorium at 1781 Cold Spring Road in Williamstown. 

 

Accordding to a press release:

 

In this hilarious play within a play, sparks fly as a divorced couple find themselves starring opposite each other in a musical version of William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." Bella and Sam Spewack wrote the book, with music and lyrics by the legendary Cole Porter. The show won the very first Tony Award for best musical in 1949 for beloved classics like "Too Darn Hot," "So in Love," and "Always True to You in My Fashion." 

 

Jeffrey Welch celebrates his 25th year directing Mount Greylock's annual musical. Music direction is by music teacher Jacqueline Vinette, with accompaniment by Luke Oliveri and choreography by senior Levi Cohen-McFall. 

 

Show tickets must be purchased in advance (no cash)—$10 for adults, $7 for seniors and $5 for nondistrict students—and are available by visiting http://bit.ly/MGRSKissMeKate. Mount Greylock Regional District students get in free. 

 

Concessions and a raffle (cash only) will be provided by the Friends of the Arts, with proceeds benefiting school arts.
