Romeo and Juliet

February 25 – March 30, 2025

By William Shakespeare
Adapted and Directed by Laura Braza

Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall | Marcus Performing Arts Center

Passion and romance illuminate the heart of Appalachia

Get swept away by forbidden romance and heart-pounding passion in this refreshing adaptation of the most celebrated love story of all time. Set to the bright, blue-collar rhythms of Appalachian bluegrass and folk-rock, Shakespeare’s star-crossed couple soars to new heights as they risk everything for the joy of being together, surrounded by a withering city on the brink of despair. Associate Artistic Director Laura Braza continues the tradition established by recent hit productions of As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing by fusing great music with Shakespeare’s poetry to create a sparkling take on a beloved classic that will appeal to all generations.
