alumNIGHTS at Bard on the Beach: Much Ado About Nothing

Summertime in Vancouver means it’s time for theatregoers to head outside for Bard on the Beach! Gather with fellow alumni and friends at Vanier Park on August 26 for one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies: Much Ado about Nothing. Enjoy our special reception, featuring artistic director Christopher Gaze, LittD’08, before the show to celebrate our esteemed UBC alumni lighting up the Bard stage this season — including Much Ado director and UBC Theatre alum Johnna Wright, BA’87. Enjoy great seats to take in one of this city’s most quintessential summer experiences: open-air theatre set against mountains, sea, and sky!
