MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
July 6-22 Peck Pavilion
The folks of Optimist Theatre, Milwaukee’s only outdoor theater offering, have moved around in recent years: from Alverno College to Kadish Park, and now to the Marcus Center’s Peck Pavilion. To compete with Kilbourn Avenue traffic, expect plenty of verbal and emotional jousting in Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare’s great comedy. Kelley Faulkner and Todd Denning play merry warriors Beatrice and Benedict. James Pickering plays Constable Dogberry; the rest of the excellent cast includes Jonathan Wainwright, Michael Stebbins, David Flores, DiMonte Henning and Candace Thomas.
