'Much Ado About Nothing'

Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies, is filled with vibrant, witty characters, misinformation and romance.

The Kingsmen Shakespeare Festival, presented by the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company, is one of the area’s most popular outdoor theatrical events.

Kingsmen Shakespeare Company is the professional theater company of California Lutheran University. The nonprofit organization also coordinates apprentice programs for professional and aspiring Shakespearean actors, an educational tour program in local schools, and summer theater camps for youth.

General admission is $20 for adults and free for those under 18. Parking is available in the lots at the corner of Olsen Road and Mountclef Boulevard. Festival grounds open at 5:30 p.m. for pre-show picnicking and entertainment.
