Summer Main Stage
2026

Much Ado About Nothing blooms in the open air, where Shakespeare’s sharp wit and joyful chaos ride the summer breeze.
​
Nestled beneath our tent and cradled by the mountains, the paly unfolds as daylight softens into dusk and the natural world becomes part of the storytelling.
​
A vibrant exploration of love, mischief, and community, Much Ado is an immersive and joyful celebration that captures the heart of CMS’s summer season.
