The Children's Shakespeare Theatre will present "Much A-DiscO" Nov. 11, 12, 17 and 18 at the Palisades Presbyterian Church.

The show

Beatrice and Benedick are destined to be together, but there's just one problem: They despise each other. Their friends conspire to trick them into falling in love with a few little white lies. 

Meanwhile, young Hero and Claudio are deeply in love until a vengeful lie threatens to tear them apart -- on their wedding day. 

But thanks to some lucky sleuthing by one of the most inept officers of the law ever to cross a stage, things may yet turn out well in the end.

"Much A-DiscO" is set in a late 70's club, and features plenty of dancing, and clothing of the era, along with disco music by the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, KC and the Sunshine Band, and The Village People, among artists.

All performances are at 7 p.m. at the church,  117 Washington Spring Road, Palisades.
