The Bard + Garden Party = The Barden Party will entertain with a piece of Shakespearean magic like you’ve never seen. Blending live pop music with The Bard, this vintage troupe of travelling troubadours, presents a raucous ‘rockabilly retelling’ of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. The Barden Party was born in a backyard during a pandemic and became a sell-out across the country, picking up awards and accolades along its 50-show season and tour of the United States. Now, it's here! Secure your free seat early and enjoy an afternoon of unforgettable joy.
