‘Much Ado About Nothing’ Comes to the Marian Theater

“There's a skirmish of wit between them!” —William Shakespeare

The Pacific Conservatory Theater (PCPA) is showcasing their production of Shakespeare’s classic enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. The show itself is recommended for tweens and older, but as director Andrew Philpot mentions in the program, the play is a timeless and humorous product of Shakespeare’s history.

The theater will host a Prologue Event with Director Andrew Philpot on February 22 at 1 p.m., and a Talkback on February 23 after the performance.

PCPA is a group of storytellers dedicated to creating and sharing art with the Santa Barbara County community. Much Ado About Nothing runs from February 13 to March 25 at the Marian Theater in Santa Maria. For tickets and information, click here .
