JULY 2015 KISS ME, KATE WELCOME

Welcome to the madcap mayhem of Kiss Me, Kate! Last summer, in this same space, we proudly produced Fiasco Theater’s imaginative revival of a classic musical with deep roots at The Old Globe:Into the Woods. This summer, we’re delighted to bring San Diego audiences yet another vibrant, timeless show from the canon. At the same time, with two world premiere musicals slated for the 2015-2016 season, we also continue our commitment to developing the great DOUGLAS GATES musicals of tomorrow. Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Artistic Director Barry Edelstein.

This production of Kiss Me, Kate marks the return of director Darko Tresnjak, who headed our 2013 production of A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder—a show that went on to Broadway, where it won numerous , including Best Musical and Best Direction of a Musical. As many of you know, Darko is the former co-artistic director of The Old Globe’s Summer Shakespeare Festival and the current artistic director of Hartford Stage, the Globe’s producing partner on this show. We’re thrilled to continue our productive artistic partnerships with both Darko and the great regional theatre he helms.

For decades, both Shakespeare and musical theatre have been central components of The Old Globe’s artistic identity. With Kiss Me, Kate, we get to bring you a little of both. What could be more perfect than that?

Barry Edelstein, Artistic Director Michael G. Murphy, Managing Director
