As Bassanio seeks Portia&#8217;s hand and Antonio enters a dangerous bond with Shylock, the young Jessica risks everything to leave her father&#8217;s house in search of love and freedom. Through romance and courtroom drama, Shakespeare examines the cost of exclusion and the transformative power of mercy. <br/><br/><b>Location</b>:&nbsp;Quad <br/><b>Room</b>:&nbsp;Rain Site: Pond Student Union Ballroom <br/><b>Event Types</b>:&nbsp;Student Activities <br/><b>Audience</b>:&nbsp;Alumni, Current Students, Faculty, Future Students <br/><b>Cost</b>:&nbsp;Free <br/><b>More info</b>:&nbsp;<a href="https://shakespeareintheparks.org/menu/shakespeare-in-the-parks" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="https://shakespeareintheparks.org/menu/shakespeare-in-the-parks">shakespeareintheparks.org&#8230;</a> https://www.isu.edu/theatre/productions-and-performances/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D204113601 https://www.trumba.com/eventactions/isu-theatre#/actions/4jvw58f9ptkje8bccm565buftn 2026/07/27 (Mon) 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://uid.trumba.com/event/204113601 https://shakespeareintheparks.org/menu/shakespeare-in-the-parks Tuesday, July 28, 2026, 6&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;8pm <br/><br/><img src="https://www.trumba.com/i/DgDCyFH9z09Qux68E12iX1KH.jpg?w=100&h=129" title="Poster for Much Ado About Nothing" alt="Poster for Much Ado About Nothing" width="100" srcset="https://www.trumba.com/i/DgDCyFH9z09Qux68E12iX1KH.jpg?w=200&amp;h=258 2x" /><br/><br/>Montana Shakespeare in the Parks presents <em><em>Much Ado About Nothing, </em></em>which&#160;speaks to the joy and uncertainty of love, reputation, and the ways that community shapes our understanding of one another. This lively comedy unfolds in the aftermath of war, where returning soldiers and welcoming hosts find themselves drawn into courtship, clever schemes, and shifting perceptions. Among a vibrant cast of characters, Shakespeare explores how easily we can be misled, and how resilience, honesty, and grace can restore both trust and connection. <br/><br/><b>Location</b>:&nbsp;Quad <br/><b>Room</b>:&nbsp;Rain Site: Pond Student Union Ballroom <br/><b>Event Types</b>:&nbsp;Student Activities <br/><b>Audience</b>:&nbsp;Alumni, Current Students, Faculty, Future Students <br/><b>Cost</b>:&nbsp;Free <br/><b>More info</b>:&nbsp;<a href="https://shakespeareintheparks.org/menu/shakespeare-in-the-parks" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="https://shakespeareintheparks.org/menu/shakespeare-in-the-parks">shakespeareintheparks.org&#8230;</a> https://www.isu.edu/theatre/productions-and-performances/?trumbaEmbed=view%3Devent%26eventid%3D204113594 https://www.trumba.com/eventactions/isu-theatre#/actions/ggjnf2zactg6r2zfgtk8tccj2k 2026/07/28 (Tue) 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://uid.trumba.com/event/204113594 https://shakespeareintheparks.org/menu/shakespeare-in-the-parks
