The Van Wezel will be presenting a relaxed, sensory friendly version of Asolo Rep On Tour’s Much Ado About Nothing. These are FREE performances and will have multiple accommodations available. Reservations strongly encouraged as seeting is strictly limited to provide the best experience for all.

This is a family show that is appropriate for all ages, but best for students 5th grade and up.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

As the summer draws to a close, tensions are high amongst the counselors and campers of Camp Messina. The intrepid (and self-appointed) Counselors-in-training, led by Dogberry, are on high alert. As star counselors Benedick, Claudio, and the beloved camp director, Don Pedro, return from roughing it in the woods, they must renegotiate their place back at camp. While junior counselors Hero and Claudio immediately fall in love, quick-witted Benedick and Beatrice need a matchmaker's push--but their relationship and reintegration into Camp Messina are jeopardized by dastardly Don John and his henchmen's villainous misinformation schemes. Fall in love with this uproarious, witty, and charming story, designed to connect communities through Shakespeare.
