Kiss Me Kate at Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza

The plot brings together a self-absorbed director/star, his temperamental ex-wife/co-star, a fame-driven starlet, a fast-footed gambler, a pair of hoodlums, a power-mad General, and many others, as the comedy confusion flies fast and furious. The score leaps nimbly from hit song to hit song, including "Too Darn Hot," "Another Op'nin', Another Show," "So In Love," "I Hate Men," "Tom, Dick or Harry," and "Brush Up Your Shakespeare," to name just a few. And the dances run the full range of musical theatre styles, dazzling at every turn. The result is a unique blend that has audiences laughing and cheering from beginning to end.
