Romeo and Juliet

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Matthew Reeder

September 26-28 | Brown Family Amphitheater | All performances free and open to the public

Shakespeare’s iconic tale of star-crossed lovers is reimagined in a bold, modern twist that brings new urgency to its timeless themes of love, fate, and conflict. Set in a contemporary world still divided by old grudges, this fresh take on Romeo and Juliet explores how deeply love can cut through chaos—and how quickly it can be lost. Experience the passion and heartbreak of two young lovers fighting to write their own story in a world determined to keep them apart.
