Romeo and Juliet
Come see 5 members of Northern Stage Bootcamp acting ensemble students (comprised of high school seniors) perform an abridged version of Romeo & Juliet on our mainstage at Northern Stage. The abridged version of the show has been adapted to appeal to and to be accessible to a 4th-6th grade audience (but we are sure will appeal to those who are older as well.)
This is a free, unticketed event. We do ask for audience members to arrive 10 minutes before curtain time so that we can help everyone find seating. See brochure here.
