THIS PRODUCTION HAS CONCLUDED

William Shakespeare’s
Much Ado About Nothing

MARCH 19 – APRIL 5, 2026

By William Shakespeare

Festival Stage | Ages 12 +

A sparkling comedy where hearts are won, masks are dropped, and love triumphs — though not without a fight

The war is over, but the real battle is just beginning in this whimsical comedy. With wit as their weapon of choice, Beatrice and Benedick spar with relentless charm, unaware that love is quietly taking aim. Friends plot to bring them together, secrets threaten to tear others apart, and Shakespeare’s surprisingly modern romantic comedy delivers a whirlwind of romance, deception, and laugh-out-loud mischief.

PLEASE NOTE:
This production is recommended for children age 12+.

Babes in arms and children under the age of 5 are not admitted to the theatre unless otherwise noted in show age recommendations.
