Photo Flash: First Look at Synetic Theater's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

By:

Synetic Founding Artistic Director Paata Tsikurishvili will direct one of Shakespeare's best-loved comedies, following the success of Synetic's production of Twelfth Night. Confirmed bachelor Benedick and the equally spirited and unwed Beatrice will spar, court and conspire in Synetic's 11th Wordless Shakespeare adaptation, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. The show will run through March 22, 2015. Press opening is this Sunday, February 15 at 2 p.m.

BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Set in 1950's Las Vegas, this flirtatious and fiercely funny show will blow you away with rockin' tunes, rat packers, and dreamy chicks who will shake, rattle, and roll as only Synetic performers can! Synetic's lively interpretation of Much Ado About Nothing will delve into the true meaning of courtship, love, and commitment.

Location: Synetic Theater, Crystal City, VA - 1800 S. Bell St., Arlington, VA 22202. Regular Run: Wednesday - Saturday, 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, 2:00 p.m. Tickets: $35 and up. Student tickets start at $20. Senior citizens and military receive $5 off. Group discounts are available. Tickets available at synetictheater.org or by calling 866.811.4111.
