Found Stages to Present Text-Message Shakespearean Play - MUCH ADO OVER TEXTING

Found Stages will present Much Ado Over Texting! This text-message-play experience was created by Neeley Gossett - Playwright, Nichole Palmietto - Producer, Christopher Fairchild - Graphic Designer, and Josh Akeman - Software Engineer.

Much Ado Over Texting is a modern twist to the classic Shakespeare play - Much Ado About Nothing. Ever wish you could live out a Shakespearean play in real life? Well, now's your chance! This modern Much Ado casts you as best friend to Beatrice, Benedick, and Hero. Get the inside scoop directly from the sources of the drama! This text-message experience is like Gossip Girl meets your best-friend text-chain rolled into an immersive theatrical world.

Much Ado Over Texting is an ongoing text-message experience. We're offering this experience on a sliding scale allowing all patrons to choose their pricing. Everyone will receive the same custom-made text-play experience no matter which you choose. If you have the means, please consider the Pay It Forward option to help us continue providing this experience at free and subsidized rates for those who need it.

This project was made possible thanks to the City of Atlanta's Power2Give Campaign, and the generous support of the following donors: Emika Abe, James Alexander, Helen Baker, Rona Baker, Paul Boshears, Amy Carter, Christine Tryba-Cofrin & David Cofrin, Kathy Dolan, Joey Florez, Alison Hudson Harrell, Seth Koslov, Amy Levin, Stephanie McFarlane, and Bettyann Van Metter. This project would not be where it is without the excellent feedback of the creative writing students at DeKalb School of the Arts and their teachers.
