BSC associate artist Darren R. Cohen will music direct, and Renee Lutz will return for her 20th season opener as production stage manager.

Sparkling with 18 classic Cole Porter songs, Kiss Me, Kate includes 'Another Op’nin',' 'Another Show,' 'So in Love,' 'Always True to You in My Fashion,' 'Too Darn Hot' and 'Brush Up Your Shakespeare.'"
