Set against the backdrop of Messina, the play follows the romantic misadventures and matchmaking of two contrasting couples—the outspoken and witty Beatrice and Benedick and the innocent and love-struck Hero and Claudio. As plans for a grand wedding unfold, so do the plots of mischief and mistaken identity, leading to a charming mix of humor, drama and romance. Don't miss this timeless exploration of love’s complexities, perfect for both Shakespeare enthusiasts and first-time theatergoers alike!

Experience Much Ado About Nothing as never before in this unique production that blends traditional Elizabethan settings with modern costume designs, creating a visually captivating bridge between past and present. This innovative approach not only highlights Shakespeare's timeless relevance but also brings a fresh, contemporary feel to the classic tale of romance and misadventure.

Under the direction of Thomas G. Waites—celebrated for his impactful roles in The Warriors and The Thing—this innovative production brings a fresh, 1940s twist to William Shakespeare's timeless comedy. Presented by Kelsey GrammerFaith American Brewing Company.
