Love, laughter and lies collide in what is arguably Shakespeare’s greatest rom-com! Much Ado About Nothing takes us on a romp through the juxtaposed romances of two sets of lovers --- Beatrice and Benedick, who give us some of Shakespeare’s most sparkling battles of wits (and wills!) – and Hero and Claudio whose quiet adoration leaves them vulnerable to the scheming machinations of the villainous Don John. As these romances build, we watch it all through a tapestry of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, deceptions, pure villainy, and some of the goofiest clowns in Shakespeare’s comedic repertoire. But never fear - despite the interweaving of tragic elements, our lovers’ paths culminate in a celebration where love conquers all!

Teen Summer Shakespeare Intensive is run by theatre artist (director / teacher / costume designer) Kate Magill Robinson. The program runs with the support of the College Park Arts Exchange and is intended as a learning-through-experience opportunity for teenage actors and technicians who will work to put together a fully staged production. Ms. Robinson has gathered a staff of area theatre professionals to help instruct, choreograph, compose and conduct young actors and technicians as they work toward the final performances.
