The Seoul Shakespeare Company (SSC) will on Sunday end a 33-day fundraising campaign to raise a targeted sum of $4,000 for its May production of the comedy "Much Ado About Nothing."

The total budget for the show is 16 million won ($13,900), about three-quarters of which is theater rental. The Indiegogo campaign is to cover part of theater rental.

"Please contribute if you can and support English-language Shakespeare performances in Seoul," the company says on its website. "We've got some nice rewards for contributors. Any amount helps. Thank you for supporting the arts."

Since 2011, the English-language theater company uses volunteers to produce high-quality performances of Shakespeare's works.

A performance leading up to "Ado" entitled "Shakespeare in Seoul: A Celebration of Shakespeare 400" will be staged at Camarata Music Company (CMC) Studio in Haebangchon, Seoul, April 23.

The evening will feature monologues and scenes honoring the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death as part of the international Shakespeare Theatre Association's "400 Dreams: Shakespeare Around the Globe" program.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and curtains rise at 8 p.m.

The performance is free, but donations are encouraged.

To get to Camarata Studio, leave Noksapyeong Station exit 2 and walk 100 meters. Bear left at the kimchi pots to Haebangchon. CMC Studio is 400 meters up the street on the left opposite Jacoby Burger.

"Much Ado About Nothing," directed by Michael Downey, will be staged at Theater Egg and Nucleus from May 21 to June 5.

All performances will be in English, with Korean subtitles.

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. May 21, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on May 28 and June 4 and 4 p.m. on May 22 and 29 and June 4.

Tickets cost 20,000 won.

For reservations, visit www.seoulshakespearecompany.org and select "Ticket Reservation Form" on the menu bar.

There is no assigned seating, so arrive early for the best seats.

"There will be a talk-back with the audience after the performance on May 22 and May 29," states the invitation. "If you are bringing a student group to the show, we highly recommend attending on one of these days and participating in the talk-back."

This show is appropriate for all ages and block bookings are available for school groups.

Please e-mail info@seoulshakespeare.com for group reservations. Large groups may arrange to pay in advance if they wish.

To get to Theater Egg, take exit 2 at Hyehwa Station. Turn left at the first road (at the Dunkin Donuts) and walk for about a block. The theater will be on your left.
