Kiss Me, Kate

Cole Porter’s

A Production by Clyde & Charlene PerryAmerican International School, New Delhi

1968

Kiss Me, Kate, staged at AIS during the 1967-68 school year, was one of the last of a long line of successful and popular productions by Clyde and Charlene Perry.

Kiss Me, Kate, the successful Broadway hit, was done more than justice by the expert direction of the Perrys and devotion of the talented cast and stage crew at AIS.
