• Shakespeare in the Park: Much Ado About Nothing by BAAY

    Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth (BAAY) presents Much Ado About Nothing, performed by students ages 15-18. This witty Shakespearean comedy of manners centers on two romantic pairs. A wicked plot to ruin the young Hero’s reputation causes dramatic, false accusations, while witty, sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick are tricked into falling in love.
