Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Amy Penne

Romeo and Juliet gets a sharp, contemporary twist in this bold reimagining set in present-day Central Illinois.
The Montagues and Capulets come from different corners of a divided landscape—one rooted in rural values,
the other shaped by polished suburban life. When their children fall in love across a widening cultural and political gulf, the consequences are swift and shattering. Drawing from the vitality of Shakespeare’s First Folio, this production uncovers surprising rhythms and rarely seen moments to breathe new life into the familiar tragedy. It’s Romeo and Juliet for our fractured times—with poetry, passion, and the desperate hope that love can still rewrite the ending.
