CWRU/Cleveland Play House MFA Presents: Much Ado About Nothing

Register

Wit flies, love blossoms, and deception dances in the sun-drenched courtyards of Messina in this fresh and fiery production of Much Ado About Nothing. Shakespeare’s beloved comedy crackles with humor, heart, and heartbreak as sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick wage their war of words, unaware that their friends are scheming to bring them together. Meanwhile, young romance is tested by a cruel trick, and a band of unlikely heroes must stumble their way to the truth.

This vibrant staging pulses with energy, emotional depth, and razor-sharp performances. Under the direction of Terri McMahon, this classic comedy proves that even in a world full of gossip, mistaken identities, and social games—love, in all its messy glory, will have the final word.

Join the Case Western Reserve University MFA actors for an unforgettable evening of laughter, longing, and lyrical brilliance. This is Much Ado as you’ve never seen it—passionate, poignant, and unmistakably alive.
