Much Ado About Nothing

by William Shakespeare

Adapted by Gaby Rodriguez

Directed by Benjamin Ernest-Abraham

Play Synopsis:

"As the summer draws to a close, tensions are high amongst the counselors and campers of Camp Messina. The intrepid (and self-appointed) Counselors-in-training, led by Dogberry, are on high alert. As star counselors Benedick, Claudio, and the beloved camp director, Don Pedro, return from roughing it in the woods, they must renegotiate their place back at camp. While junior counselors Hero and Claudio immediately fall in love, quick-witted Benedick and Beatrice need a matchmaker's push--but their relationship and reintegration into Camp Messina are jeopardized by dastardly Don John and his henchmen's villainous misinformation schemes. Fall in love with this uproarious, witty, and charming story, designed to connect communities through Shakespeare."
