Romeo and Juliet
March 10 - April 20, 2003
Bagley Wright Theater
Passion. Romance. Violence. Vengeance. Despair. Death. Love. Shakespeare's most thrilling and romantic play is a masterpiece of poetry and a whirlwind of emotion. In the midst of a bloody feud, fragile love unfolds. Defying their warring families and their closest friends, two young lovers risk everything to be together. Artistic Director Sharon Ott, who delighted audiences with her visions of As You Like It and A Midsummer Night's Dream, lends her creative talents to one of the great classical stories of all time.
