The primary plot of Much Ado About Nothing turns on the courtship and scandal involving young Hero and her suitor, Claudio, but the witty war of words between Claudio’s friend Benedick and Hero’s cousin Beatrice often takes center stage.

Set in Messina, the play begins as Don Pedro’s army returns after a victory. Benedick, a gentleman soldier, resumes a verbal duel with Beatrice, the niece of Messina’s governor, Leonato. Count Claudio is smitten by Leonato’s daughter, Hero. After Don Pedro woos her in disguise for Claudio, the two young lovers plan to marry in a week. To fill in the time until the wedding, Don Pedro and the others set about tricking Benedick and Beatrice into falling in love with each other. Meanwhile, Don Pedro’s disgruntled brother, Don John, plots to ruin Hero and halt her wedding. Claudio believes Don John’s deception, is convinced Hero has a lover, and, at the wedding, brutally rejects her.

With Hero in hiding and falsely reported dead, Beatrice persuades Benedick to fight Claudio. Tragedy is averted when the bumbling city watch, having discovered Don John’s treachery, arrives and clears Hero’s name. With Claudio forgiven, both couples are ready to get married.

This summer, a new tradition begins! Woofstock, the first annual music-filled fundraiser from the Humane Society of Central Texas, is hitting the stage on Saturday, June 21 at The Backyard Bar, Stage & Grill in Waco. Running from 4:00pm - 11:30pm, this all-day celebration is packed with heart, soul, and a whole lot of tail-wagging joy.

Woofstock is more than just a music festival - it’s a celebration of the unbreakable bond between humans and animals and the incredible sense of community that forms when we come together for a shared purpose. At the heart of the event is the belief that animals make us better, and that’s why this festival is designed for everyone who believes in the magic of the human-animal connection. As you explore the venue at The Backyard, you’ll find interactive art displays, laid-back activities, and moments designed to bring the community together.

With a genre-spanning lineup that includes Jon Muq, Sundae Drivers, The Bottomless, and more, the Woofstock stage is set to offer something for every music lover: rock, indie, country, R&B, and everything in between. Whether you come to catch your favorite act or experience something new, we know you’re going to want to stay for the full experience. Preview the full artist setlist on the Eventbrite ticket page (linked below) and start planning your perfect evening!

Comedian Steve Treviño is “America’s Favorite Husband.” He can “speak wife fluently,” he never calls “the guys” for help on a home project, and he knows better than to “make his own decisions,” since decision-making is a privilege reserved solely for his wife, Renae.

His relatable approach affirms his status as one of the country’s premiere stand-up comedians, viewed over 300 million times, selling-out shows across the nation, and amassing over 3.4 million total social media followers.

Today, the comedian has had stand-up specials with Amazon, NETFLIX, Showtime to name few. His first Showtime special, Grandpa Joe’s Son, staked out a spot in the Nielsen Top 20 when it first premiered. From the success of that special, he funded, produced, and shot his 2014 NETFLIX hit Relatable. To promote the special, he uploaded a clip titled “When Your Wife Comes Home From Shopping.” It exploded, generating over 56 million views on Facebook alone and paving the way for his other viral clips like “When You Ask Your Wife If She Wants McDonald’s” (21 million views). In 2018, Trevino released the follow-up special, Steve Trevino ’Til Death on Amazon. In 2022, he once again self-produced his fifth special, I Speak Wife that released on YouTube garnering over 4 million views.
