Please join us on Central Square Theater’s Facebook Live page for an online reading of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing presented by our Friends at Bedlam.

Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
directed by Eric Tucker

A comedy about misunderstandings, love and deception. A group of soldiers return from the war. The world-weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero. As memories of conflict give way to a life of parties and masked balls, Claudio and Hero fall madly, deeply in love, while Benedick and Beatrice reignite their own altogether more combative courtship.

Memorial Day Virtual Benefit Reading of
William Shakespeare’s MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
to honor and support BEDLAM’s Veteran’s Programming

ABOUT THIS BENEFIT:
Since 2015, BEDLAM has curated excited programming for US Veterans, including our weekly FREE Veteran’s Acting class. This class provides a safe place where Veterans can come together to find camaraderie, a creative environment and most importantly a forum for expression without fear of judgement. It has been shown that the performing arts can play a powerful role in helping Veterans reintegrate back into civilian life. During this current global crisis, BEDLAM continues to provide weekly classes virtually and has plans to expand this programming to extend our reach outside of the NYC Tristate area. Please consider a gift in any amount to support this incredibly important programming – Donate Now!

SAG-AFTRA

through Theatre Authority, Inc. for their cooperation in permitting the Artists to appear on this program.
