Romeo & Juliet
April 17 – May 18, 2025
Shakespeare’s great love story.
An intoxicating blend of tragedy and hope, the spark of young love is ignited in Romeo and Juliet. But as quickly as this romance begins, it spirals out of control amidst the chaos of rivalry, familial duty, death, and impossible choices. Artistic Director Melia Bensussen brings this Shakespeare classic to life, in a romantic production rife with desire (and sword fighting!).
