TICKETS On sale in the main office!

The multi-award winning SBA Celebration Troupe is proud to present its 2016 spring musical, Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate, April 7-9 at 7 pm & April 10 at 2:30 pm. This zany, jazzy musical comedy offers a new spin on the ultimate battle of the sexes: William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. The story focuses on two seasoned performers (and recently estranged spouses) who tackle a new musical version of the classic tale, leading to crazy backstage antics, plenty of on-stage chaos and even a pair of gangsters armed with pistols and some mean softshoe dance skills. Featuring classic hummable tunes like “Too Darn Hot,” “I Hate Men,” “Another Op’nin, Another Show” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” Kiss Me, Kate will prove that “the course of true love never did run smooth,” as well as “what fools these mortals be.”

Reserved Seating Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
