Shakespeare in the Park is leaving, and this is the last weekend for you to enjoy totally free theater.

The event is this Saturday and Sunday at 4:00 p.m. at Red Morton Park, on the Valota Road side of the park, located at 1455 Madison Ave, in Redwood City.

The play to be enjoyed is "Much Ado About Nothing," this beloved classic features the blending of two different love stories: Hero and Claudio, whose love is challenged by jealousy, and Beatrice and Benedick, who work together through their past history to find love again. Don John's villainy and Agent Dogberry's spitting evil intentions add to the fun!

You can't miss it.
