Much Ado About Nothing

Wooden O celebrates its tenth annual season by revisiting the first play we produced. Much Ado About Nothing sparkles with wit and romance. Benedick and Beatrice, Shakespeare's legendary scoffers of love, unwittingly find they're perfect for each other. But, it takes the sly tricks of their friends, and being pushed to the brink of tragedy, to get them together.
