“I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.” 🐦⬛ 🐕
Shakespeare’s OG rom-com features the classic couple Benedick (Producing Artistic Director David Jenkins), an arrogant and confirmed bachelor, and Beatrice (Artistic Associate Katrina Stevenson), his favorite sparring partner.
While the feisty couple hides their infatuation beneath witty barbs, young love blossoms as Hero (Aaliyah St. Charles) and Claudio (Cody Farkas) race to the altar. When the noble Don Pedro’s (Darrin Person) wicked brother Don John (Cornelio Aguilera) conspires to break up the wedding, will false accusations and misunderstandings prevent a happy ending? Will the weird Dogberry and his misfit watch save the day? Witty wordplay, passionate poetry, and clever plot twists make this the perfect romantic evening to share love and laughter.
