Directed by Casey Venema

In Messina, a "merry war" is waged between the sharp-tongued Beatrice and her eager sparring partner, Lord Benedick. When a scandalous accusation undermines the wedded bliss of young lovers, Claudio and Hero, the lines between Love and War begin to blur, and Beatrice and Benedick are swept up in the secret scheming of their kinsman. Welcome to Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", a comedy of quick wits and romantic intrigue- where enemies become lovers, brothers become enemies, and lovers come back from the dead.
