If you attend the Hobnob Theatre Company performance of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” in Preston Park this weekend, you may see a familiar face gallivanting about the grass.
After a two-year hiatus, it’s been a joy to take the stage (or lawn) again with this hilarious group of people. The importance of supporting small, local arts companies is imperative, so please come out and laugh along!
Tickets are on sale for $10 at hobnobtheatre.com/tickets and never sell out! If the show is canceled due to inclement weather, tickets are refundable or can be exchanged for a different night.
