The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

With a large cast featuring youth playing alongside professional actors and community members, this TRAGEDY OF ROMEO AND JULIET was a life changing experience for me as an aspiring community builder. We focused our cut around building out as much of the play’s world as possible, and cast actors in newly adapted roles as extended family of the Capulets and Montagues. The young actors at the play’s center came from the Kent area and brought a passion and abandon to the project that made the love so much more real.
