Juliet and Romeo

January 17th – February 2, 2025

Be of the first audiences to enjoy this brand-new musical in which 15th Century Verona and modern-day New York City collide. This romp bounces back and forth between rehearsing a production of one of The Bard’s best-known plays, and the actual characters within the play as Shakespeare is writing it.

Hilarious complications must get sorted out as centuries and love stories get twisted in this delightful and fresh take on Juliet, Romeo, William Shakespeare… and down-on-his-luck community theatre director and aspiring novelist, Sawyer Bloom. Fun Fact: New York pizza is involved!

PLEASE NOTE: This production includes mature language, swirling lights, and contains atmospheric effects, including theatrical haze.
