Much Ado About Nothing

"Shakes-Bar" Bellingham is a new local theatre group that has taken inspiration from the popular "drunk Shakespeare" format, and is bringing some short, sweet, and silly renditions of the classic bard to venues and bars around Bellingham! Because truly, nothing is more historically accurate to Shakespeare than performing in a bar and having, well, access to the things a bar offers. 

Our show is an hour long version of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", edited by the showrunners themselves, keeping alive the original text but allowing the actors to...well, whatever comes from being 21+ in a venue with a bar. 

If you're looking for a night of gags and goofs, bad poetry, magical girl transformations, romantic drama, and general shenanigans, Shakes-Bar's "Much Ado About Nothing" is the show for you! We'll be performing Aug 27th, 28th, and Sept 3rd at The Blue Room, and Aug 29th, Sept 4th, and 5th at The Upfront, with some surprise pop-ups around town.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
