Poster for Mills High Production of Much Ado About Nothing

 

Much Ado About Nothing: A Modern Verse Translation, tells the timeless and hilarious story of two love relationships at Messina High School in contemporary times. Bea and Benny are former baes who have broken up and now spend much of their time cutting each other down--that is, until their flame is rekindled through the antics of their friends. Meanwhile, Hope, the Principal's daughter, has a mutual crush on the popular but jealous Claudio. A plot to break up this new love connection by the evil John sets the school into chaos. Only John's brother, the wise quarterback Pedro and the school's resource officer Sheriff Dogman, can save the school from becoming a doomed soap opera.
