This is the perfect show to introduce to kids just starting out on Shakespeare, as well as adults wishing to have more verse and prose in their lives. This show has been adapted for the virtual format, and a short synopsis of each act will be posted alongside the main video for an easier understanding.
One of Shakespeare’s classic comedies, “Much Ado About Nothing” is the original rom com. Lovestruck Claudio meets lovestruck Hero, and a wedding is planned. Meanwhile, Claudio’s friend Benedick finds his ex, Beatrice, and bickering ensues. But when the villainous Don John interferes, one couple breaks up, another gets together, and a mysterious death occurs, breaking the hearts of all. Will this flirty comedy have a happy ending for everyone?
Our WRP Connect Players for this production include Mia Radabaugh, Jason Leupold, Ben Arrington, Kayla Lehman, Kevin Kelly, August Scarpelli, Kyle Huff, Jim Fippin, Daniel Hunsicker, Victoria Kirgesner, Hannah Hilty, Brittany Bizub, Chris Bizub, and Simon Sedmak. They are all WRP returners!
