The Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade presents "Much Ado About Nothing!" - Free Outdoor DC Theatre

Hi Everyone!

I know it's been awhile, but I wanted to write because I am really excited to announce that after a fantastic first year, the Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade will be back to bring free outdoor theatre to the city for its second year. 




This summer we will be mounting our production of William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” with performances running for two weekends on June 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28, 2014.  Performances will be held nightly at 8 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown (1041 Wisconsin Ave, NW).  Audience members will be able to lay out blankets, pack a picnic and enjoy a free performance out under the stars.  In case of inclement weather the show will be performed indoors.  Doors will open at 7:00 PM for picnicking and relaxing pre-performance.  Some concessions will be available for sale on site.  For additional information please visit our website: www.fgcitizens.org.

The Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade has become the resident theater company of the Grace Episcopal Church in Georgetown. The company's mission is to provide accessible theater to all, and we do so by providing free outdoor productions of the works of William Shakespeare each summer. DC has so many great free outdoor summer activities like Screen on the Green and Jazz in the Sculpture Garden; we are bringing free outdoor theatre to the city.

We already have a fantastic cast and crew working on the production, but we are still raising funds for the project.  So if you are able to donate, please visit our GoFundMe page!

The cast, crew and myself would really appreciate any help that you could give!  By supporting the Fat and Greasy Citizens Brigade you can be a part of bringing free, outdoor, live theatre to DC!

But above all, come out and see our show!!! Throw down a blanket, pack a picnic and a bottle of wine and enjoy some free outdoor Shakespeare this June!
Thank you!!
