DIGITAL PROGRAM

ABOUT THE SHOW:

One of Shakespeare’s most frequently performed comedies, Much Ado About Nothing includes two quite different stories of romantic love. Hero and Claudio fall in love almost at first sight, but an outsider, Don John, strikes out at their happiness. Beatrice and Benedick are kept apart by pride and mutual antagonism until others decide to play Cupid.

THE STORY:

Set in Messina, the play begins as Don Pedro’s army returns after a victory. Benedick, a gentleman soldier, resumes a verbal duel with Beatrice, the niece of Messina’s governor, Leonato. Count Claudio is smitten by Leonato’s daughter, Hero. After Don Pedro woos her in disguise for Claudio, the two young lovers plan to marry in a week. To fill in the time until the wedding, Don Pedro and the others set about tricking Benedick and Beatrice into falling in love with each other. Meanwhile, Don Pedro’s disgruntled brother, Don John, plots to ruin Hero and halt her wedding. Claudio believes Don John’s deception, is convinced Hero has a lover, and, at the wedding, brutally rejects her.

Performances will be held at the Violet Township Community Theater at the Wigwam Event Center (10190 Blacklick-Eastern Road Northwest, Pickerington, OH 43147). Performances dates are Fridays (8:00 PM), Saturdays (2:00 PM), and Sundays (2:00 PM), October 4 – October 13.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Pickerington Community Theatre reaches for the stars with all-new, never-before-seen stage adaption of the classic sci-fi b-movie Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Filled with humor, camp, and no shortage of deliciously cheesy dialogue, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a much-loved 1964 holiday film known affectionately by fans as one of the worst movies ever made. When the leaders of Mars can’t figure out why their children are so sullen, they decide to cheer the young ones up with their first ever Christmas. You can’t have Christmas without Santa Claus, of course, but the only Santa available already belongs to the children of Earth. The obvious solution: abduct the Jolly Old Elf for themselves!

THE STORY:

Breaking news! Worldwide alert! Santa Claus has been abducted by marauding green fiends from Mars! What do these viridescent villains want with our Father Christmas? Will the Jolly Old Elf find freedom in time to save the Yuletide season? Find out when Pickerington Community Theatre presents “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!” Fun for the whole family, come see this beloved cult classic film take the stage by storm with a whirlwind of flying saucers, laser beams, giant robots, and Christmas cheer!

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION:

Performances will be held at the Violet Township Community Theater at the Wigwam Event Center (10190 Blacklick-Eastern Road Northwest, Pickerington, OH 43147). Performances dates are Fridays (8:00 PM), Saturdays (8:00 PM), and Sundays (2:00 PM), December 6 – 15.

This production will be directed by Bram Fulk.
