The Boomerang Theatre Company (Tim Errickson, Artistic Director; Sue Abbott, Managing Director) will kick off their 2011 season with an outdoor production of Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing, directed by Daniel Talbott and starring Sara Thigpen as Beatrice. The production opens June 18th in Central Park, and is free to the public. Check out www.boomerangtheatre.org for more information.
When returning soldiers come home from war, the romantic battles begin! Beatrice loves and hates Benedick at the same time, returning his amour with each stinging put down and quip. Benedick loves the game when he's winning, and despises Beatrice when he's not. On the sun-drenched hills of Italy, hearts are won, lost and won again all for the glory of true love...and who can get the last word in! Much Ado about Nothing will run June 18th to July 17th, 2011 on Saturday and Sunday afternoons in Central Park. Admission is free.In the past twelve years, the Boomerang Theatre Company has produced 46 full productions, including seven world premieres, seven New York City premieres and reinvented producing in repertory for small theatres.
