The 9th Annual FREE Autumn Shout-Out Shakespeare Series:
Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
directed by Stephanie Shine
on outdoor stages throughout west Tennessee
and indoors at TSC
September 27 – October 19
generously sponsored by:
The victorious soldiers returning to Messina only thought they were laying down their arms. Head-strong Benedick and his men come heart-to-heart with the witty Beatrice and her women in the Italian countryside for a sun-dappled battle of romance which finds peace only when the village “Ass” is conscripted. Ideal for the outdoors, families, and picnics, Shakespeare’s romantic comedy plays gleefully in 90 minutes without intermission.
Bring a chair and picnic; first come/first seated. Much Ado About Nothing will play indoors on TSC’s Tabor Stage for one performance for half-priced admission off Tabor Stage productions. For this performance, patrons should call or go online to reserve and purchase seats while they last.
