STC Academy Performs Much Ado About Nothing and Henry IV, Part One
Two Shakespeare classics in two captivating evenings. Join the STC Academy Class of 2026 in their first performance of the season.
Much Ado About Nothing
Directed by Dan Crane
A group of soldiers returns from war and walks straight into another battlefield of love, suspicion, and rumor. Eight actors from the STC Academy Class of 2026 perform Shakespeare’s fast-moving comedy with clarity, speed, and minimal design. As lies take hold and loyalties shift, the power of love and forgiveness is tested.
Runtime: 90 minutes with no intermission.
Henry IV, Part One
Directed by Alec Wild
Honor is a moving target in Shakespeare’s gripping story of rebellion, duty, and growing up. Eight actors from the STC Academy Class of 2026 take us from the battlefield to the tavern, from the throne, to the street. Prince Hal drifts between two worlds while the kingdom fractures around him, and the fight over what kind of man he’ll become begins long before the crown is within reach.
Runtime: 90 minutes with no intermission.
