Come watch the end result as thirteen brave actors and two very determined directors attempt to stage, rehearse, and perform Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy in just 24 hours! Come witness the hilarity, the insane spur of the moment surprises, so come on out and play with us!

This event will also feature live music and wine! More on ‘For Love & Duty Players’ check out our website at www.forloveandduty.com, on facebook, twitter, and instagram!

For Love & Duty is committed to providing entertaining and thought provoking theatre, as well as contributing to our community. Each of our MainStage shows are paired with a charitable organization in order to raise awareness.
Much Ado About Nothing is honored to partner with The Bridal Garden. They are the only not for profit bridal boutique in NYC that sells discounted one of kind designer gowns and is a donation center for donated wedding dresses. Their proceeds benefit underfunded NYC schools with programs which promote academic excellence and literacy. Our “Hero” (Ali Viterbi) will be wearing one of these beautiful dresses in the show! We are so excited to be partnering with this amazing charity. Check them out!http://bridalgarden.org/
