Gamut Theatre's Shakespeare in the Woods Student Production

The Shakespeare in the Woods Young Acting Company presents Much Ado About Nothing. One of Shakespeare’s liveliest plays, this comedy interweaves two plots and two pairs of lovers. Claudio and Hero, the romantic lovers, inspire poetry and music, but Beatrice, determined never to marry, and Benedick, a confirmed bachelor, are the witty vivacious lovers whose rapid word play will leave you reeling. Dogberry, the buffoonish investigator and his clueless band of watchmen make much ado about everything when they uncover the villainy of the wicked Don John and his plot to destroy the serenity of the town of Messina.

After a week of intensive outside rehearsals at the Ned Smith Center, 30 talented young actors ages 8 – 15 from both sides of Peter’s Mountain perform the most famous scenes from one of Shakespeare’s classic tales. The show runs approximately one hour and is followed by a talk-back discussion between the audience and actors. Prepare to be amazed by another year of Gamut’s Shakespeare in the Woods!

DOORS OPEN AT 6 PM, SHOW STARTS AT 6:30 PM. RAIN DATE:  AUG 9.
