Photo Flash: Rochester Community Players Present MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
The Shakespeare Players of Rochester, a program of the Rochester Community Players, will present Much Ado About Nothing, free Shakespeare at the Highland Park Bowl from July 2 to 17, 2010.
This production is being directed by Jean Ryon and produced by Patrick Niles-White, with costumes by Karen Noske. This production is presented with the cooperation and support of the Monroe County Parks Department.
Much Ado About Nothing is Shakespeare's mature comedy about adults in love. Fiery Beatrice and hot-headed Benedick blaze away at each other until they realize, aided by the trickery of friends, that they are a perfect couple. Fellow soldier Claudio is smitten by the lovely Hero; their romance is almost undone by the treachery of Don John, bastard brother of Don Pedro, the soldier's leader. Spoiler alert: by the end of the play the lovers get married and the bad guys go to jail.
The Highland Park Bowl is located at 1200 South Avenue in Rochester, NY. Admission is free. Eleven performances are scheduled for the following dates (all performances start at 8:00 PM): Friday July 2, Saturday July 3, Tuesday July 6, Wednesday July 7, Friday July 9, Saturday July 10, Sunday July 11, Tuesday July 13, Wednesday July 14, Friday July 16, and Saturday July 17.
This is the fourteenth annual Shakespeare at the Bowl production of the Shakespeare Players of Rochester. RCP's Shakespeare Players program is a member of the Shakespeare Theatre Association of America (STAA). Further information about this program, about RCP, or about this production is available at rochestercommunityplayers.org.
