Much Ado About Nothing, as you’ve never seen or heard it before!
Set in the early 1940s during wartime, women must take the lead at home with many occupations, including radio broadcast! Keeping the arts alive during trying times, the female cohort steps into Shakespeare’s classic romance-filled romp! Portraying the relationships of two couples: Claudio & Hero and Beatrice & Benedick, the actors navigate a whirlwind of love, deception, and witty banter as many meddlesome matchmakers orchestrate situations to help them overcome their initial reluctance to admit their feelings for each other. In this Shakespearean comedy, the battle of words and wits ensues as a malicious plot leads to accusations, schemes, chaos and heartbreak, before love and truth finally prevail. Audiences additionally get a window into the “behind the scenes” picture of radio, foley sound, doubling, and all the unique features, and challenges of a radio play. With a “We Can Do It” mentality, the underrepresented group rises to the task in hilarious and unexpected ways!
