Howard Community College issued the following announcement on June 17.
For one weekend only, the Howard Community (HCC) Theatre Program will present William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” featuring HCC students, alumni, and guest artists. Performances will take place June 27 – 29, 2019, at the college’s outdoor Dreier Stage, located behind the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center (HVPA).
“This will be our third year offering outdoor Shakespeare at HCC,” said Bill Gillett, chair of dance, theatre, and AV production. “It’s so exciting to see the community attend with chairs, blankets, and picnics for an evening of fun under the stars. I’m excited for the hilarity to ensue with this year’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing.’”
In this performance, everyone can see confirmed bachelor Benedick and headstrong Beatrice are meant for each other – except Benedick and Beatrice themselves. While their friends try to trick the bickering pair into admitting they are in love, Hero and Claudio begin a romance of their own. But will false accusations and broken promises prevent a happy ending?
The performance opens June 27 and runs through June 29 on the Dreier Stage located outdoors behind the HVPA on the HCC campus. Performances begin at 8 p.m. each day, and are free and open to the public.
