Romeo & Juliet

at Gallery Players

The famous story of star-crossed lovers remains one of Shakespeare's most thrilling tales because, even if you know the tragic end, the glorious text always makes you yearn for love to survive. Two powerful families, the Montagues, and the Capulets, insist on maintaining a vendetta that disrupts their city and puts the younger generation at risk. With reckless abandon and youthful indiscretion, these teens break all the rules and let love, lust, and fury drive their impulses. Filled with chance meetings, wild choices, impromptu fights, and secret rendezvous, Romeo & Juliet is an electrifying story of unyielding passion.

March 8 – March 23, 2025
