After a two-year hiatus, Stan State’s Theatre Under the Stars is returning May 4, 5, 6 and 7 with “Much Ado About Nothing” by William Shakespeare. Preparations for the play were underway in March 2020 when Stanislaus State moved to remote operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.   

“The set was halfway built; the costumes were halfway done,” said Carin Heidelbach, director and assistant professor of theatre. “We shut it all down and we put it in storage and hoped we could use it again.”
