"Much Ado About Nothing"


  Taking the stage this weekend is the ARTS presentation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing - and as you'd expect, it's an original interpretation of the classic story.

   Here's their description of the show:

   "It tells the story of an upcoming wedding and a hilarious plan to make two wisecracking rivals fall in love. All is well until the prince’s brother decides to interfere with all of the joy of the occasion. Will love save the day? Director Mike Murdock has adapted Shakespeare’s whimsical tale of romance and wit, and has set the play in 1960s Vegas. After huge successes with updates of Macbeth and Julius Caesar, the bard’s comedy is sure to please."

   I'm hearing great things about the show! It runs for three weekends, starting Friday night. Don't miss it!
