Mystic Players Revival, a new group formed to revive community theater in Medford, presents the first of two performances of William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” at the Condon Shell. Brian Triber directs. The second performance will be at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 27, also at the Condon Shell.

Mystic Players Revival is a nonprofit organization created by a group of Medford residents to bring back a community theatre experience to the city similar to the popular Mystic Players, who performed regularly from the early 1970s until the early 2000s.
