This petition is the next step in my campaign for Jamie Lloyd's Much Ado About Nothing to be made into a pro-shot for public viewing. 

Starting late February of 2025, I began a campaign for Jamie Lloyd's production of Much Ado About Nothing, starring Tom Hiddleston and Haley Atwell as Benedick and Beatrice respectively. I sent an email to the Jamie Lloyd Company, only to never get a reply. 

After sharing my message to the JLC on Instagram for others who want a pro-shot of MAAN to see, I received a generally positive reception of my message. 

As my message entails, I believe this show being made into a pro-shot for the public has numerous reasons for the benefit of all, including but not limited to:

• The advancing of pro-shots to make high theatre more accessible to the wider general public
• Addressing of elitism in ticket prices in Broadway and the West End 
• Proving to the theatre industry that pro-shots are not at odds with live viewing of shows
• Further sharing of openly nonbinary representation in Shakespeare to the wider general public
• Sharing of quality Shakespeare in contemporary theatrical styles to the wider general public
• Fighting the stigma of Shakespeare being considered dry, boring, and outdated 

After the announcement that the show would be going on Broadway, before the official dates were released, I made a follow-up message to those who supported me regarding the initial request to the JLC, not just in sharing my thanks for their kind support, but also regarding what our next course of action would be.

My Instagram Stories Highlights contains a series of my posts and receptions of them for this campaign for anyone who wants to learn more about said campaign as well as maybe take part of the campaign if interested. The link is here.

Eventually, it has lead to me making this petition. I wish for this petition to be used to not only work as a form of engagement in this MAAN Pro-shot campaign beyond Instagram, but also as a way to bring tangible numbers to the campaign to be shared, even if a signature is gained by only one reason out of the many reasons this campaign was conceived. 

I hope anyone reading this description will be willing to sign this petition for the reasons listed above and I thank you for your attention!
