The Play

Romeo and Juliet

The fall play is a modern take on Romeo and Juliet, featuring 11 student actors with Clara Wolff (II) as Juliet and Devon Whalen (III) as Romeo. The setting is an abandoned warehouse in an unnamed city where a group of youths regularly hang out. They decide to put on the Shakespeare tragedy. Performing arts faculty member Shane Fuller says the production uses the stage in a unique way—an alley theatre. Students are playing multiple characters, mixing up gender and incorporating some dance and movement pieces.
