One of Shakespeare’s most well-known tragedies, it is the story of two star-crossed lovers whose untimely deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. This contemporary production places the Bard’s timeless words into a modern setting—a private school. (This is a perfect opportunity to introduce teenagers to the 16th century world of Shakespeare while still making the play relevant to their lives.)

Appearing onstage are Kristin Bennett, Montville; Debbie Campanali, Towaco; Becca Dagnall, Piscataway; Lewis Decker, Millington; Charles Deitz, Tinton Falls; Chris Debono, Madison; Ed Faver, Roselle; Roberto Forero, Edison; Daniel Hamm, Hazlet; Victor Martinez, South Amboy; Taryn Mateyka, Piscataway; Mary Morlino, Whippany; George Rateau, Metuchen; Billy Rateau, Metuchen; Joshua Rowand, Bridgewater; Lance Williams, Piscataway; Stacie Williamson, Palmer Township, PA; and Mark Zebro, Roselle Park.
