Much Ado About Nothing
by Mary Moody Northen Theatre

Nov. 06 - Nov. 16
Thursdays-Sundays

Love, lies, and laughter collide in this swinging 1960s reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic comedy, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! After years of war, an Italian town bursts back to life with romance, rivalry, and music. Witty sparring partners Beatrice and Benedick swear they’ll never fall in love until a mischievous plot turns the game on its head. Directed by Emmy-Award–winner Robert Tolaro, this fashion-forward romp proves that in matters of the heart, nothing is ever simple.
