Much Ado About Nothing
Directed by David Frederick Mold
June 10-28, 2026
Pinkney Park, Rowayton, CT
Join Shakespeare on the Sound as we celebrate 30 seasons of storytelling under the stars with Much Ado About Nothing.
Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy transports audiences to 19th‑century Sicily, where romance blooms, tempers flare, and a battle of wits becomes a battle of hearts. Enjoy a brilliant ensemble bringing this “merry war” of words to life in one of Connecticut’s most beloved outdoor settings.
Come laugh, love, and experience why Shakespeare’s language still dazzles. It’s the perfect summer night out!
