About the Show

This summer The Greenhouse Ensemble brings you the timeless tale of "Romeo and Juliet."

From the show:

The Capulet and Montague households have been embroiled in a bloody fight for as long as anyone in Verona, Italy can remember. The death toll is mounting, and it seems that the best thing anyone can do is keep the two sides as far from each other as possible. But when young Romeo Montague crashes the Capulet ball, he falls head-over-heels in love with young Juliet Capulet – and she falls just as in love with him. What ensues is one of the most romantic and devastating love stories in the theatrical canon.

Great writing, Funny, Long

See it if You already know if you like this story or not. Their Juliet is great; almost everyone else in the play is at least very good. Worth seeing.

Don't see it if No AC in the theater, which detracted from our enjoyment. There's a very brief nude scene, so avoid if that's not your cuppa.

Ambitious, Slow, Overrated, Kudos to the actors for wearing the thick costumes in the hot weather, A bit too long

See it if You like Shakespeare. In my opinion, besides the hot weather, the unnecessary yelling didn't enhance the intensity but reduce the enjoyment

Don't see it if Almost 3 hours running time in a not well air conditioned theater is excruciating to you. Read more
