From the hilarious creative team behind “A Literal Garbage Fire” and “Sold Out! The Staged Reading: A New Play By Jay Buchanan” comes an adaptation of William Shakespeare's funniest take on Italian romance, Much Ado About Nothing.

When a band of soldiers return to Messina from victorious battles, they variously embrace and reject their stirring attractions to the noblewomen of the court of Leonato. Plots to spark and foil newfound love compete with each other as spoken lies give way to hidden truths, and some girl fakes her own death at the suggestion of a friar! That's never gone poorly in a Shakespeare play! The Zootown Arts Community Center and Literal Garbage Productions proudly present Much Ado About Nothing, performing on July 23, 24, 25 & 29, 30, 31.

On Saturday, July 31, Missoula's Community Media Resource will be streaming Much Ado About Nothing on the Zootown Arts YouTube Channel and Facebook, with no admission cost.

Conspiracy. Corruption. Contingency.

When a mysterious online provocateur known only as "QAnon" starts a deadly campaign across the US, it's up to the Covid Compadres to save America from its biggest threat yet: America itself. Duke Knuckles, however, is ready to return to a normal life, free of adventure. Will Dr. Natalie Fatality, Anna Nimity, and Kookaburra Carrie unmask Q on their own? What exactly is going on at Disneyland? And who is President Lady Lastname, anyway?
Spanning the final months of the Covid-19 pandemic, from election to insurrection, The Covid Contingency proves there's no such thing as a do-over.

Starring Jacob Godbey, Kate Morris, Christopher Morucci, Kera Rivera, Adrian Adams, Nevin Graves, Brit G., Ben Lawrence, Rachel Lynn Shull, Trevor Cummings, Erin Lee
With Lindsay Rebecca Spear as President Lady Lastname, Zach Krell as Anthony Blake, and featuring Sean Kirkpatrick as Mickey Mouse

The Covid Contingency streams June 5th, 7:00pm PDT on YouTube and Vimeo
