The two hour workshop will culminate in a chance to a meet the cast of Repercussion’s Much Ado About Nothing, ask questions of the director, and participate in a professional pre-show warm-up.

Before the Show workshops will be held in Westmount Park on Sunday, July 23 for both age groups from 4 to 6:15 p.m. Cost is $35. Register early as space is limited to 10 participants per age group. Register online at https://geordie.ca/product/registration-shakespeare-2017/
