Kudos to the Director

Kudos to the director for Much Ado About Nothing. The direction was one of the best I have seen. Pacing and all the small details really made this production one of the best I have seen. Cast was wonderful and even and small characters were remarkable. Both leads were well balanced. I would go again.

What a Hoot!

What A Hoot! Much Ado was a perfect example of why we call such works “plays”, and the performers “players”. Can’t remember when I have laughed so much. The Saturday 9/13 performance was full of the energy of interaction between the stage and the audience. Music and dancing added immensely to the fun. The conga […]

Much Ado absolutely amazing

The play and the cast of Much Ado were absolutely amazing, especially Cat Thompson and Darren Bridgett. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! The leads truly gave all their energy into their performances. We saw A Winters Tale. I don’t like the play as much, so it […]

A new Shakespeare fan

I thought you might like to hear a story. Julia, my seven year old daughter, who participated in your Shakespeare camp this summer as Don John, just got back from seeing Much Ado with her father. When they came into our house, Julia ran screaming down the hall, “I’m going to write a Shakespeare play!” […]

Much Ado Brilliant

Just had to thank you for the enjoyable and fun evening we had tonight watching “Much Ado”. We had a jolly good laugh, my 8 year old included!
I couldn’t think of a part poorly played. Each lent something of themselves to their role and I understood the characters better because of that. I suppose my […]

Refreshing Much Ado

I just wanted again to tell you how much fun I had on Saturday night. We sometimes get locked into the “glass wall” of TV and movies, where things are all recorded on some media, and the action and dialogue are all set to play over and over. It was so refreshing to see real […]

GREAT Much Ado

Last night (Saturday) was a GREAT performance by a GREAT cast.  You chose cast members well for their parts and it seemed like they all had their hearts in the performance (and the work).  I am NOT a Shakespeare devotee and have only been to one good performance, but the performance last night held my […]

MUCH ADO a delight for the whole family

Much Ado : I saw the preview, close to perfection but Beatrice’s drunk scene should be eliminated (not in character, no textual support); I suggest center stage front, very quiet, gives her soliloquy so as to express how deeply she is moved and how distraught. Best wishes to all the cast, especially Borrachio and Don […]

Great MUCH ADO - but a bit racy!

Great performance of Much Ado…but a little less skin, please! There are little ones in the audience!
NOTE: From the Producer - The moment in question will be changed for Family Day and Student Matinees.

First time participant will be back for more.

First time participant. I don’t think Ive ever seen a live Shakespeare play.
Things I enjoyed.
The overall lightness of the cast while at the same time its serious business. A delicate balance that was struck well.
The music within the show was a surprise and was well integrated, any more would have needed a pit, any less […]
