“Much Ado About Nothing” at RMS

The fifth and sixth graders of the Rochester Memorial School Drama Club would impress the Bard himself with their performance of William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” this year’s annual spring play at RMS. Forsooth, methinks thou wilt not be disappointed.

The 27 actors, under the direction of sixth grade teacher Danni Kleiman, are donning their Renaissance gowns, vests, and velvets, drawing their swords, and reciting their memorized lines they have been learning since January.

Director Danni Kleiman has been running the show for 29 years now. The sixth grade teacher directs, produces, writes the script, and designs the exquisite sets. Kate Tarleton, a member of the community, designs and creates the elaborate costumes for the colorful cast, bringing it all together for one superb production.

The stage manager is Karen Della Cioppa, and a volunteer stage crew of junior and high school students assists the cast behind the scenes.

The grand performance will be Friday, May 1 at 7:00 pm in the Rochester Memorial School cafetorium. Tickets are $9 and will be available at the door.
