Company of Rowlett Performers (CORP Theatre) will present William Shakespeare's beloved comedy Much Ado About Nothing at Plaza Theatre (521 W State St, Garland, Texas) February 13-22, 2020 at 8:00 pm. Tickets cost $15 and can be purchased at the Box Office or online at corptheatre.org. Several women have been cast as male leads.

"Shakespeare has stood the test of time because it's undeniable amazing work but it skews heavily male," states director Donna Covington, "We want to give more women the opportunity to do Shakespeare, so we cast several amazing actresses in male roles."
