The war is over, but the wooing certainly isn’t. When Don Pedro’s soldiers return from war, they also return to their old lives and find that the saying is true: love is a battlefield. ​

While young Claudio’s eyes finally notice Hero, Beatrice and Benedick find their ancient “merry war” still wages on. While Beatrice and Benedick’s friends conspire to get them together, Don Pedro’s bastard-of-a-brother, Don John, conspires to break Hero and Claudio apart… will love finally win, or are we all just making Much Ado About Nothing?

Keep your eye out for more info as we take Measure for Measure to some local colleges & universities in the fall!

Disguises! Mistaken Identities! Pranks and tricks! True love! And magical marriages!​

Measure for Measure exploits all the themes and devices of sweet comedy to view the usually serious world of oppressive law, untreatable disease, foolish law enforcement, coerced sex, slander and execution. Actors and audiences alike will confront ideas and situations still relevant in the 21st century—in an ultimately hope-infused 17th century incarnation. Join us for a roller-coaster performance of Measure for Measure this summer 2026.
