The youth are f*cked. Left to their own devices in their parents’ world of violent ends, an impulsive pair of star-crossed lovers hurtle towards their inescapable fate. The intoxicating high of passion quickly descends into a brutal chaos that can only end one way.
"I really like the modern take on the classic story. The way it was presented and the interactiveness of it. They really used the space well and I loved that it was in the Circle Theater "

"I didn’t know what to expect especially when I got to the theatre and there were stuffed animals and emo- like people dancing on the stage to pretty cool music. It was a contemporary take on a classic, and with that, no more spoilers. "

"I saw the Romeo + Juliet show on December 14, 2024, and I was immensely impressed. The new rendition revitalized the traditional tragedy while preserving its emotional depth. The cast was outstanding—each portrayal felt genuine and passionate, adding to the story's emotional resonance.
The set design and lighting were particularly impressive, providing an immersive experience that transported the audience while remaining original. Without giving anything away, the direction made some surprising creative choices that greatly enhanced the show's impact.
Overall, it was a moving and unforgettable evening, and I would strongly suggest it to anyone who values a mix of tradition and inventiveness in their theater experience."

"I could not get over the contant vitality of the cast and their unique portrayal of the characters. I estimate half the audience to be under 30. My guess is that most learned of R & J by word of mouth. Interestingly they "got" the subtleties in the dialog. II would not change anything. Shakespeare would have been proud.

"This theater was perfect for the show because every seat feels like you are right there with them. The cast was phenomenal and the lack of set is advantageous because it shows off their acting ability. The music was incredible. This show felt fun, fresh, intimate, and unique. It made Shakespeare digestible and told the story with an incredible amount of character and heart. I would see it again and again! "
