Cast Announced For Chipola's ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

Chipola College Theater Director Raines Carr recently selected the cast for “Much Ado about Nothing,” which will be presented on June 18-19 at 5 p.m. and June 20 at 2 p.m.

The cast includes: Dorian Chancey as Benedict, Leah Lewis as Beatrice, Alexis Hall as Hero, Bryce Etheridge as Claudio, Elijah Wells as Don Pedro, Gwyneth Davism as Don John, Ashley Lytle as Leonato, Tristan Pettus as Dogberry, George Roulhac as Borachio, Ricky Coachman as Conrade, Phillip Bridges as Verges/ Antonio, Michael Anthony Brown as Balthazar/Friar Francis/2nd Watchmen and Madison Smith as Ursula/Margret/1st Watchmen.

Beatrice and Benedick are the perfect match. It’s too bad they can’t stand each other. When their war of wits comes to a head, their friends decide there’s only one thing to be done – trick the hapless couple into plans and ploys all designed to bring the cynical Benedick and spirited Beatrice into a mountain of affection. Will their scheming succeed, or will it all be Much Ado About Nothing?

The performance will be held on the West Lawn at the Center for the Arts. General admission tickets are $5 at the show. There are no advance ticket sales. Guests may bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. No tents or umbrellas will be permitted. In case of rain, the performance will be moved inside the Center for the Arts Theatre.
