Prime Stock Theatre’s Bard on Bower is Back.

Richard Beaune (second from left) directs the cast of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing on the Bower Ponds outdoor stage in this rehearsal photo.

This comedy about trickery and two romantic pairings will be set in the “fun 1950s.” It will run in repertoire with The Comedy of Errors, directed by Jake Tkaczyk, from 7 p.m. on Aug. 12 to 1 p.m. on Aug. 29. The latter play is one of the Bard’s shortest — a farce with plenty of slapstick and mistaken identities.

Other local theatre groups will also perform short “curtain raisers,” contributing to a festival atmosphere.
