Much ado about much ado

It’s here again, and it is SO welcome after a winter when at times even the arts seemed to be sleeping. Well, they woke with a banner and a flourish. The banner hung behind a series of class acts on the Holyoke Center stage, including tuneful troubadours and academic a cappella singers. The flourishes were everywhere, from the leaps of ballet dancers at Lowell House to the mischievous machinations of jesters on the steps of the Memorial Church in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ to the fabulous fable of the princess and the pea. Final Score: Arts First, Second, Third.
