Bennington Theater

06/16/2026

Set in Bennington, Vermont, the air buzzes with revolutionary spirit as the town celebrates its break from British rule. A new nation is being born—but the path forward is anything but simple.

When a group of Patriot soldiers arrives, two romances take shape. Young love blooms quickly between Claudio and Hero, only to be nearly destroyed by the schemes of Don John, a bitter secret Loyalist.

Meanwhile, the sharp-tongued, endlessly entertaining sparring between Beatrice and Benedick takes center stage, as their battle of wits slowly gives way to something deeper.

Through dazzling wordplay and comic misunderstandings, Much Ado About Nothing explores how easily appearances deceive, the damage caused by lies, the fragility of idealized romance, and the enduring value of genuine connection over social expectation.

Remaining Showtimes:

🔹 Friday, June 19 | 7:00 PM
🔹 Saturday, June 20 | 7:00 PM
🔹 Sunday, June 21 | 2:00 PM

Directed by David Dubov-Flinn
Written by William Shakespeare
