QUOTES

"The Short Attention Span Much Ado About Nothing: This 10-minute fast-forwarded version of Much Ado adapted by Huntingdon and directed by Autry and Deborde, is a worthy show-closer, if only for the outrageously over-the-top portrayals. For instance, Joey Folsom's performance (as Benedick) seems to have been inspired by a comment a certain critic made about him in the 2007 CSF. Hey, it had me LOL."
