Wide Eyed Productions presents William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing directed by Kristin Skye Hoffmann, performed at the Gene Frankel Underground Theatre (24 Bond Street at Lafayette).

"Wide Eyed Productions' sets their second full-length production, Much Ado About Nothing in the heart of New York's trendiest neighborhood, and guess what, it feels right at home. Isolated in their cozy enclave of the pampered and privileged, fearing not the distant wars in Arabia, saucy chicks and horny dudes make the process of hooking-up much harder than it needs to be," explain press notes, "Welcome to Café' Messina, the hippest java joint in Willy-B, where you'll meet a barista named Beatrice who swears never to love a man. Queue the Indian door chimes, and enter Benedick. Just back from a big win the kickball championships on the west coast. Sparks fly as their friends attempt to couple these old foes. Is it a love-lost cause, or a match made in hipster-heaven?"

The production features Lea McKenna-Garcia, Brian Floyd, Justin Ness, Lauren Bahlman, Trevor Dallier, Sky Seals, Andrew Harriss, Scott Voloshin, Sage Seals, Danny Gardner, Vanessa Gibens, Jerrod Bogard, Paul Basile, Kym Smith, Brianne Mai, Anthony Reimer, Nick Basile, Devin Moriarty and Melissa Johnson.
