Meet Benedick. When it comes to a battle of wits, Benedick is the fastest draw there is. With sarcasm and humor, he uplifts his compatriots,  And is determined to maintain his forever-bachelor status. After all, with a sworn brother to fight alongside, Who needs Beatri--I mean, women. Who needs WOMEN? He's practically unmovable -  Just so long as a particular lady doesn't move him to change his ways... WE OPEN IN SEVEN DAYS! Get tickets at the link in our bio. Tickets for opening weekend are almost gone! We can’t wait to share this adaptation with you! ❤️❤️ #EnsoMuchAdo #HouseParty #ImmersiveTheater #portland #PortlandTheater #Pdxtheater #muchadoaboutnothing #shakespeare #bardedladies #thingstodopdx #funnightout #affordable #supportthearts #livingthedream #beatrice #benedick #josswhedon #enso #mindfulness #mindfulartist #letsdothis #comingsoon https://www.instagram.com/p/B2F8KiNh7Rs/?igshid=1obap8txfakhg

What Shakespeare play is "Ten Things I Hate About You" based on? . Who's famous for saying "To be or not to be?" . How much do you know about Shakespeare's "lost plays"? . Whether your copy of the Bard's collected works is collecting dust in your grandmother's attic, or whether your copy is held together with duct tape (like ours), come "eat, drink and be merry" at our Shakespeare Trivia Night! . Tuesday July 9th at My Father’s Place from 7p-10p. . Open to all ages. . WHAT TO EXPECT: . ~Delicious food & drink from My Father's Place . ~Questions ranging from Shakespeare in pop culture to nitty gritty footnotes (you might be surprised at how much about the bard you actually know!) . ~Scenes from Shakespeare performed right in front of you! . ~Delectable prizes . ~High amounts of merriment and tomfoolery. . COVER CHARGE: $10 . All proceeds from the event will support Enso Theatre Ensemble, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to making and teaching theater with mindfulness. Our mission is to create a new generation of artists grounded in mindfulness techniques that will foster a sustainable, balanced creative life. . Enso's next project is an innovative, feminist adaptation of "Much Ado About Nothing". A comedy with all the drama, romance and absurdity of a house party...in an actual house. .

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST... Tim Fodge has been performing locally for over a decade, and graduated in 2013 from George Fox University with a degree in theatre. He has performed with many different theatre groups from Newberg to Portland, including Steep & Thorny Way to Heaven, Valley Repertory Theater and Outer East Arthouse. Amongst his favorite roles: Orlando (As You Like It), Silvio (Servant of Two Masters), and Demetrius (Midsummer Night’s Dream). Tim is profoundly grateful to Enso for giving him the opportunity to bring this show to life and work with such a wonderful team of artists. He would also like to give a big shout out to his wife, Liz Fodge, who constantly inspires him to keep chasing after his passions and helps him to be a better person one day at a time. “Much Ado” opens in one week!

Our very first rehearsal for “Much Ado” began with the co-creation of “Group Guidelines.” . What we want our rehearsal room to look and feel like, collectively. . There were beautiful, thoughtful shares on what we thought a welcoming, collaborative, energetic, productive process looked like. . Big ❤️ to @peaceinschools for this exercise. Thrilled to be implementing mindfulness into the rehearsal process this way! . This is an utterly amazing group of artists. Honored to be working with them. . More soon. 🌺Caitlin & The Ensemble . #EnsoMuchAdo #HouseParty #ImmersiveTheater #portland #PortlandTheater #Pdxtheater #muchadoaboutnothing #shakespeare #bardedladies #thingstodopdx #funnightout #affordable #supportthearts #livingthedream #beatrice #benedick #josswhedon #enso #mindfulness #mindfulartist #letsdothis #comingsoon (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0CLix9hone/?igshid=132zq7ipk3wn9
