The Elon Performing Arts Department began its production of the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" last Thursday. The show features a play within a play as the cast performs William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew."
Senior Christopher Wood stars as Fred Graham, the director of the Broadway-bound musical, and senior Courtney Markowitz plays Lilli Vanessi, Graham's movie star ex-wife.
The show is full of dancing and over-the-top performances by the cast. It continues Nov. 6-8 in McCrary Theatre.
