This project features an interactive dance/theatre performance, cinematic installation, live music, and curated art exhibition all based on William Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing.' Boasting a cast of over 50 performers and 18 visual artists, 'Much Ado' is by far the most ambitious project we have undertaken and will present an experience never before produced in this area. As distinguished guests at Claudio and Hero's wedding, the audience will journey through the young couple's infamous love story.
