SHAKESPEARE’S MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Apr 10 – 26, 2026 | Main Stage

Our story is set in the summer of 1918, in the fictional town of Messina, Italy, where a platoon of American soldiers is stationed several miles from the front lines of The Great War. Private First Class Claudio falls madly in love with Hero, the daughter of Messina’s Mayor Leonato, while Leonato’s niece Beatrice and Sergeant Benedick forswear love altogether, claiming they’d never be so foolish as to give their hearts away, much less to one another. We might be in for a simple lighthearted romp were it not for Lieutenant Don Pedro’s nefarious brother Don John, who seems bent on foiling anyone’s attempt at lasting happiness, and an eccentric but dogged carabinieri named Dogberry who’s determined to get his man. Shakespeare’s bighearted romantic comedy about loyalty, trust, and the healing power of love in times of deep conflict, Much Ado About Nothing is a family-friendly show that will delight Chattanooga audiences with its timeless themes and classic characters you won’t soon forget.

  • "The Theatre Centre has had a profound positive impact on my family. These past 17 years have seen my daughter, Annie, grow up in the Youth Theatre, my wife, Jackie, painting a set piece or two, and allowed me some time on the stage as well. We would not be the family we are without the CTC."

    Mitch Collins

  • "I am overjoyed with my first theatre experience and so happy it was with the CTC. I became a sponge and realized how much work everyone puts into every production, I’ve learned that theatre is a team sport just like basketball or football. There are no small parts, there is no one who isn’t needed. The cast and crew really taught me why I should appreciate live theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both on stage and off stage, puts into it. Thanks CTC for sharing your talents and knowledge. I am forever grateful!"

    Kimberly Reynolds

  • "The Theatre Centre is more than a building and a stage and actors and crew. It’s more than a venue. It’s a home and a haven and a family. It’s the frame that holds the masterpieces of Chattanooga’s community: its most talented, creative, and passionate members."

    Greer Caldwell

  • "Thinking of CTC volunteers as amateurs might sound negative, but “amateur” comes from the word for love. The CTC is a community of amateurs who love creating art together. Audiences are surprised that we’re volunteers because of the professional quality of our work. Since 2001, I have volunteered on stage, back stage, behind a piano or in the lobby. The CTC is like Oz: there’s no place like the artistic home I’ve found there."

    John Echols

  • "In THE WIZ, Dorothy sings, 'When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing,' and that has been my experience -- I’ve been very much at home here. I always have that little magical something inside me when I come to this building. Thank you, Theatre Centre, for giving me this opportunity to give back to my community through the arts."
