The Troubies are back and at it again. The Troubadour Theater Company presents “Much Adoobie Brothers About Nothing,” directed by Matt Walker.
For the first production of their 11th season, the Troubadour Theater Company lands smack dab in the music of the 1970s with the “rock and soul” of The Doobie Brothers as they break down the fickle nature of love with the prose of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.”
The show will preview on Friday, Aug. 4, and Saturday, Aug. 5, and will open on Thursday, Aug. 10. It will continue for five weeks through Sunday, Sept. 10, at the Miles Memorial Playhouse, located at 1130 Lincoln Blvd.
In this spirited tale of wit, wise-cracking and “What A Fool Believes,” the couples in this comedic, Shakespearean battle of the sexes would rather drift down a murky river of “Black Water” than pair off in any romantic “China Grove.” Will our squabbling central characters, Beatrice and Benedick, quit “Takin’ It To The Streets”and start “Rockin’ Down The Highway?” Will Claudio take Hero in his arms and profess “You Belong To Me?” All these questions and more will be revealed as the action unfolds.
