The Upstart Crow presents Much Ado About Nothing
🗓 August 27–September 6

Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing may be more than 400 years old, but the messy relationships, sharp insults, and romantic drama feel as entertaining as ever. Follow Beatrice and Benedick as they roast their way toward romance while the seemingly perfect Hero and Claudio find their relationship unraveling around them.

Directed by Jeremy Elman, this production from The Upstart Crow Theatre digs into the humor, deception, forgiveness, and very human messiness at the heart of Shakespeare’s beloved comedy.

Special Events: Name Your Price Nights on August 27 & September 3, a post-show talkback on August 30, and Industry Night on August 31.
