MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Adapted and Directed by Philip J. Hickman and Cat McAlpine
May 27 – June 20, 2021
Too much time and too much wine finds a group of friends and an unlucky housekeeper trying to pass the time at an 1800s lake house. An ad hoc performance of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing keeps the estate lively as a summer evening grows dark. Together they discover love, laughs, and timing as the product of their boredom becomes a moving performance that reminds us all: the heart wants what it wants.

Don't just watch our shows, join our family!
Whether you’ve been a loyal fan for years or this is your first time in the Park, we would love for you to officially join our family. Sure, ATC membership comes with some pretty cool swag (like a full set of season buttons and an exclusive, ATC Member T-shirt), but it’s so much more than that. We not only want you to enjoy the best seats at each of our productions, we also want to invite you to member-exclusive events, like our season announcement party, staged readings of shows that we’re working on or considering, and parties with the cast and crew.
We offer four levels of membership, making supporting ATC accessible to all of our audience members. You can even choose to pay all at once or through monthly EFT, whichever is more convenient for you.
