Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing
Easily dubbed the first true “Romantic Comedy”, Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing will be directed by award-winning director Krista Jo Miller, an associate professor at California Baptist University. This Much Ado will bring a new perspective as it is set in the post -WW2 1940’s. The lead characters in the play, Beatrice and Benedick, have a love-hate relationship that rivals the classic films of Tracy and Hepburn and gives their well meaning but mischievous friends the perfect opportunity to trick them into falling in love. It’s “No fear Shakespeare” for everyone!

Due to an unprecedented response, Church Basement Ladies, a show that is a celebration of the church kitchen and the women who work there, has been extended. Selected dates have now been added through July 26th. Church Basement Ladies, is a new musical comedy featuring four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1965.

From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, we see them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter Fund Raiser, and, of course, a steaming hot July wedding. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the Pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other as the true “steel magnolias” of the church. Funny and down to earth, audiences will recognize these ladies as they witness the church year unfold from below the house of God. (Read on …)
