Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare

at the Old Parish House.

Location: College Park Arts Exchange

This is the performance for the Teen Summer Shakespeare Intensive camp.

Love, laughter and lies collide in what is arguably Shakespeare’s greatest rom-com! Much Ado About Nothing takes us on a romp through the juxtaposed romances of two sets of lovers — Beatrice and Benedick, who give us some of Shakespeare’s most sparkling battles of wits (and wills!) – and Hero and Claudio whose quiet adoration leaves them vulnerable to the scheming machinations of the villainous Don John. As these romances build, we watch it all through a tapestry of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, deceptions, pure villainy, and some of the goofiest clowns in Shakespeare’s comedic repertoire. But never fear – despite the interweaving of tragic elements, our lovers’ paths culminate in a celebration where love conquers all!

Camp Encore presents:
Romeo and Juliet
“My only love sprung from my only hate”
By William Shakespeare
Directed and adapted by Kate Magill Robinson

Join director Kate Magill Robinson and the Camp Encore troupe leaders as they delve into Shakespeare’s most iconic tragic love story. Rival gangs – the Capulets and the Montagues – patrol the streets of Verona, ripping the city into factions as they play out an age-old vendetta. Against the backdrop of this epic feud, Romeo Montague crashes a Capulet party with his friends, and there he first sets eyes upon the beautiful Juliet, the heir to the Capulet family. The star-crossed lovers attempt to live out the passion of their hasty romance and secret marriage, amidst the violence of their families’ feud. But fate, fortune, and a series of cataclysmic circumstances steer them off-course toward their inescapably tragic end.
