Twin City Players Presents
Much Ado About Nothing
August 21 – September 6, 2026
Twin City Players presents the opening production of its 2026-2027 94thMainstage Season, the original romantic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare.
Enter the smoky, jazz-fueled 1920s heartland, where the "Merry War" is fought with biting wit instead of swords. Between the haze of the speakeasies and the glitz of the social circuit, cynical Benedick and fiercely independent Beatrice clash in a high-stakes battle of hearts. In a world where gossip is dangerous currency, these two skeptics must decide if love is worth the risk.
Tickets are $15 - $20 (plus a $1 fee per ticket). Tickets available at twincityplayers.org. Performances are August 21 – September 6, 2026, Friday & Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2 pm, at the TCP Playhouse, 600 W. Glenlord Road, St. Joseph, MI.
