If one believes that the battle of the sexes began with Adam and Eve, then one has to believe that God must have had a sense of humor when he created them. Otherwise he would never have allowed William Shakespeare, The Bard of the 16th Century,  to cooperate so delightfully, deliciously, and so delovely with Cole Porter, The Baud of the 20th Century for the creation of Kiss Me, Kate - a rib of The Taming of the Shrew.  It’s just TOO DARN HOT of a concept to turn down. “So brush Up Your Shakespeare” and get ready  for “Another Op’nin’ ”  in our second season of the Robert O. and Elizabeth M. Bentley Endowment for the Performing Arts Musical Event.

Supported by the Robert O. and Elizabeth M. Bentley
