MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Audition Workshop

March 28, 2026

Teen summer! We hope you can join us as we explore one of Shakespeare's most complicated plays where its characters struggle with justice and mercy, love and fidelity. The audition is a workshop format where students warm up together with theatre games and improvisations, then read prepared scenes with each other for various characters from the play. Finally, each student will present their prepared monologue. Check it out and sign up to come out to play!
