INDIANAPOLIS — Passions run high as leading lady Lilli Vanessi and her ex-husband, actor/director Fred Graham, battle onstage and off in a production of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” With romance, comedy, sophistication, and behind-the-scenes high jinks, “Kiss Me, Kate” combines the irreverent humor of four brilliant writers: Sam and Bella Spewack, Cole Porter and William Shakespeare.
Hoosier born Porter is at the top of his game with such great musical numbers as “So in Love,” “Wunderbar,” “Tom, Dick or Harry,” “Too Darn Hot,” “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” “I Hate Men,” “Always True to You (In My Fashion)” and “Another Op’nin, Another Show.”
Shows will be May 1-3, 7-10, & 14-17, with Thursday – Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. at the Hedback Theatre, 1847 N. Alabama St. Free parking is available in our private lot located just behind the theatre. Access is available from New Jersey Street.
Regular tickets are only $25 – take advantage of our discounts: footlite.org/buy-tickets: $15 on first Sunday and Thursday, $15 age 17 and under. $20 for age 65+, $20 for students, 15% off for groups of 10+
