Hero Theatre Presents Nothing, Nothing

Hero Theatre presents the World Premiere of Nothing, Nothing written by Amina Henry and directed by Elisa Bocanegra.

A celebration of joy, romance, and community, NOTHING, NOTHING is a site-specific adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing set and performed entirely in a Baptist church! This adaptation puts the bonds of love, family, and faith to the test in a hilarious comedy of errors.

Starring
Nedra Snipes as Beatrice
Clinton Lowe as Benny
Stacy Highsmith as Leona
Cary Thompson as Pastor Don Juan
Joseph Henderson as Claudio
Angie Green as Hero
Georgina Elizabeth Okon as Sister Connie
Tamika Simpkins as Sister Betty

Like Amina Henry's previous commission for Hero Theatre, TROY (2019), this commission is part of a special partnership with the Downtown Women's Center and the Alexandria House. Performances will be at the Friendship Baptist Church, a historic Black church in Pasadena where Martin Luther King Jr. once spoke.

**Special show prologue presented by one of the cast members is happening at 2pm prior to the matinees. Optional attendance. Come if you'd like to learn more about the play!
