This summer's play is Shakespeare's merry war of wit, Much Ado About Nothing, where lovers exchange insults rather than kisses until tricked into confessing their true feelings.  The play follows two sets of lovers on a roller-coaster ride of courtship, aided and thwarted by a cast of high-minded nobles, bumbling watchmen, and nefarious villains.  Deception is rife, the jokes tumble, and tragedy is near at hand, until this possibly perfect comedy is restored into a deeper love at the end. 

At Traveling Players, our staff are professional teaching artists with many years of experience in theatre, teaching, and joy! With a team for each ensemble of 13 actors, we have a 1:5 faculty-student ratio.  This ensures that our students are always being worked with and bettering their skills, rather than waiting in the wings. Whether they are learning a combat sequence, running a scene, or working on a monologue, training is constant for everyone regardless of casting.

We also have a rotation of classes everyday where students will come together to learn. Don't fight in the show? Not a problem! You will still learn stage combat skills in class. Playing the straight man this year? Stretch your funny bone in improv class.
