"Much Ado About Nothing": Shakespeare's Comedy Set in a TriBeCa Bar

Way before Jerry, Elaine and George epitomized "comedy about nothing," the cast of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" hilariously quibbled and kvetched about commonplaces ... but did it in iambic pentameter. Now Art for Progress and director Alexis Confer stage a brilliant new version of this quippy comedy that ricochets with wit and sizzles with sexual tension. Placing Shakespeare's immortal language in a decidedly contemporary setting, this "Much Ado" is set in a bar in TriBeCa, a neighborhood known as much for its thriving nightlife as for its stroller congested sidewalks. Be there for this sharply comedic production, enlivened by some of NYC's finest actors, comedians and public servants, all acting on stage for a good cause.
