Much Ado About Nothing
Directed by Olivia Hinebaugh
Assistant Directed by Stephanie Davis
William Shakespeare's classic romantic comedy gets a funky update! Sparks fly backstage at a music festival in 1975 when a touring rock group brings mischief, mayhem, and matrimony in their wake! Venue Manager Beatrice must face her former lover while supporting her cousin's blossoming romance with hot young keyboardist Claudio; Superstar Don Pedro must find love for his tour manager while trying to manage his surly bassist brother; and Festival Owner Leonato must plan his daughter's wedding, keep his stars happy, and figure out who left a skunk in the security tent! With a soundtrack packed full of classic, seventies hits, this Much Ado is part Scooby-Doo, part Daisy Jones and The Six, and all Rock 'n' Roll!
Bring your blankets and lawn chairs to this Shakespearean music festival!
