Theatre Street Productions and the Endicott Performing Arts Center present Cole Porter's musical Kiss Me, Kate. Andrea Gregori, who plays the off-stage Lilli and the on-stage Kate, joins us to talk about this tuneful hit from 1948 and why it is still a hit. Director Pat Foti talks about the challenges to the cast of going back and forth between Shakespearean language and 40's slang, and the amount of dancing the show requires.
