Audience Responses

93% of audience members surveyed agreed with the statement “This production and experience made me feel more connected to my community.”

“It’s always affirming and inspirational to see stories like ours represented through the backdrop of a classic play. Not only that, but seeing a play performed in a non-traditional space added such depth to the story and was a great way to push the limits of how and where theatre can find itself.”
“Seeing the gender bent casting of Much Ado About Nothing gave me an appreciation for the relevance Shakespeare’s works can have in telling a femme-forward and queer story!”

“Seeing this production made me grateful for companies like three witches to exist. I felt seen and it made me have a deeper appreciation for the community around me—that I am loved and there are places that will support me and others.”
“I have a non-binary child who has been working hard on mental-health issues for the past year. I was struck by how the actors were filled with joy and life as they worked together on their craft. It gave me hope for my child’s future, as they grow in self-awareness and relationships within a supportive community.”
