Cast Announced for MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING at NextStop

By:
NextStop Theatre presents their first production of 2017, Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" starting January 19, 2017. Billed as "the original romantic comedy", the story of Beatrice and Benedick will be directed by Abigail Isaac Fine at NextStop's black box theatre in Herndon, Virginia.

The cast will include prominent DC actor Kari Ginsburg as Beatrice, Jonathan Lee Taylor as Benedick, Brittany Martz as Hero, and Ben Stoll as Claudio.


Ginsburg previously appeared at NextStop under Fine's direction in Ginna Hoben's "The Twelve Dates of Christmas".

"I am so excited to reunite with Abbie and NextStop to tackle this "bucket list" role!" said Ginsburg, "Beatrice is smart and witty, and she's one tough broad when it comes to romance. She's a warrior with a delicate heart, which is a precarious balancing act. There's no place-- and no other company with whom!-- I'd rather peel back her layers than in NextStop's intimate blackbox."

They are joined by Gary DuBreuil, James Finley, Lisa Hill-Corley, Mimsi Janis, Allen McRae, Mo O'Rourke, Robert Pike, and Valerie Adams Rigsbee.

The production team includes Laura Moody (Stage Manager), Elizabeth McFadden (Scenic Designer), Jonathan Abolins (Lighting Designer), Stephanie Fisher (Costume Designer), and Reid May (Sound Designer).
