One of Shakespeare’s most enduring and beloved comedies! In this play full of mistaken identities and unexpected revelations, love and loyalty are tested in the aftermath of war. The story follows two very different romances: one sweet and straightforward, the other tangled in teasing and stubborn pride. As friends plot to bring enemies-turned-lovers together, a darker scheme threatens to pull everything apart.

This production balances laugh-out-loud wit with the emotional weight of betrayal and redemption. With themes of honor, forgiveness, and the power of truth, Much Ado About Nothing offers a fun night at the theatre for audiences of all ages. Prepare to be captivated by a story where laughter and heartbreak intertwine, and where the most unexpected heroes might just save the day.

There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators, rolling out the New Grass revolution, and then leaving the genre's torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak. There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors, of the traditionalists, the rebels, and the next gen devotees. Music's ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush.
