Much Ado About Nothing at Astoria Park
Head to Astoria Park tonight and tomorrow night for a free performance of Much Ado About Nothing at 6:30 pm.
Much Ado About Nothing is a delicious cocktail of wit, delight, and heart that poses challenging questions about why we choose to forgive those who have hurt us most intimately. This free, 90-minute, family-friendly production explores how the play’s depictions of gender roles illuminate our current struggle for equality and celebrates coming together as a community to laugh, love, and mend.
This production features an original score of live acoustic music, professional classical actors with experience from the Old Globe in San Diego to Shakespeare’s Globe in London, and visits a variety of venues in Queens and Manhattan to bring this timeless frolic into our communities.
