The Burns Park Players – a company (made up of more than 100 Burns Park students, parents, teachers, and neighbors) that stages one musical each year – look to hit their marks this weekend with the community theater group’s 35th production, “Kiss Me Kate.”

With a hit-packed score by Cole Porter, “Kiss Me Kate” made big waves on Broadway when it premiered in 1948. Between enduring tunes like “Another Op’nin, Another Show,” “Brush Up Your Shakespeare,” “Wunderbar,” and “Too Darn Hot,” “Kate” tells the story of a divorced pair of actors who are constantly feuding while starring in a touring musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s war between the sexes, “The Taming of the Shrew.”
