William Shakespeare’s
Much Ado About Nothing (abridged)
Live on stage! Join us for Shakespeare’s classic comedy “Much Ado About Nothing”
Get ready for a battle of wits! When Beatrice and Benedick are tricked into falling in love, the sparks fly faster than their insults. But as they play their games, a malicious plot threatens to destroy another young couple’s happiness. Featuring mistaken identities, rapid-fire banter, and hilarious blunders, Much Ado About Nothing proves that love—and drama—is just a “nothing” to be made into “much.”
Youth entering 6th-12th grades joined us for our Summer 2026 Shakespeare Camp. This popular summer offering, directed by Milo Graamans with assistance from Danika Simon and Lara Perissinotto, happens for two weeks each June. We invite you to come enjoy the final performance of these talented young actors!
