About the Show

A new production of Shakespeare's classic, set in a tumultuous city in the American South.

Splendid social gatherings, moonlit evenings, empty churchyards and blood-strewn streets. Set in the contemporary chaos of a Southern city steeped in class and racial conflict, two star-crossed souls meet and fall quickly in love, only to take their own lives in a tragic twist of fate.

A new take on Shakespeare’s cataclysmic romance, The Acting Company’s Romeo and Juliet is a show about hope, healing, and the limitless passion of youth.

For ages 12 and up.

Entertaining, Quirky, Great acting, Clever, Absorbing

See it if you like a condensed version of the play with modern dress but Shakespean speech done in effective and entertaining way.

Don't see it if you have very young children or you like the complete play done in traditional way. Read more

Poor staging, Poor acting, Slow, Great writing, Disappointing

See it if you've never seen Romeo and Juliet, are introducing older kids (10-12) to the production for the first time or enjoy the pre-show activities

Don't see it if you expect something above the level of a high-budget community theatre production, actually know Shakespeare, or don't want to fall asleep. Read more
