Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” Set for March 20

 
The Kohlenberg Lyceum Series will conclude the 2014-2015 season with William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” March 20 in Baldwin Auditorium. Live pre-show music will begin at 7 p.m. with the performance starting at 7:30 p.m.
 
In this classic comedy the villainous Don John devises a scheme to shatter the nuptials of Claudio and Hero, while the young lovers conspire to trick Beatrice and Benedick into admitting their much-denied love. In these five powerful acts, full of sparkling wit, Shakespeare gives us the joy of love won and the ache of love lost. He makes us laugh and breaks our hearts, then magically puts them back together again.
 
“Much Ado About Nothing” is presented by the American Shakespeare Center. For more information on the troupe and its players, click here.
