Step into the shoes of Shakespeare's characters as the Lifelong Learning room transforms into the Globe Theatre with a cold reading of Much Ado About Nothing. Each week, participants will draw a role to read aloud while our facilitator, Meb Reisner, guides the group through the play's themes and shenanigans.
Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare's most celebrated and witty comedies, explores the hilarious battle of the sexes, the sting of deception, and the power of love, offering some of the sharpest wordplay and most memorable banter in English literature.

Quebec City Reading Council is committed to addressing accessibility issues and providing accommodations to the best of our ability. We do, however, recognize that our current location is not fully accessible to everyone, and we understand this is disappointing to those who would like to attend QCRC events at our office. Although our office site options are extremely limited, we make very effort to plan events at accessible venues whenever possible.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and ongoing support for Quebec City Reading Council.
