A delightful re-imagining of Shakespeare’s comedy playing for audiences everywhere with an innovative hybrid model, featuring in-person and virtual performances!

Dacha is thrilled to return to Shakespeare for the first time in two years with Much Ado About Nothing, set behind the scenes of a scrappy TV studio. We’re delighted to invite a limited “studio audience” to join us at the venue each night—where we’ll be live streaming the show for “viewers like you” at home!

In this production of Much Ado About Nothing
, the streets of Messina look very much like your favorite public access TV station. You’ll find quarreling lovers in front of the camera, scheming villains in the control booth, and inept heads of security trying to warm up the crowd. Enjoy a rollicking good time as you listen to the house band, settle into your seats, and get ready for hijinks on set as we cue “audience applause” for Much Ado About Nothing !

Much Ado About Nothing ran December 11th–19th, 2021,
with in-person performances in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, WA.
