It’s not just “another op’nin’ of another show,” it’s the classic musical the Shakespeare Theatre Company was destined to produce: KISS ME, KATE. STC Associate Artistic Director Alan Paul, director of last season’s smash hit MAN OF LA MANCHA—the best-selling production in STC’s history—and A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM (Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Director, Resident Musical) helms KISS ME, KATE, with choreography by Michele Lynch (Washington National Opera’s SHOW BOAT).
