Centenary Stage Company’s NEXTStage Repertory is currently in
rehearsals for their production of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet adapted
by Stephen Michael Davis.
Centenary University Theatre students bring Shakespeare's timeless
tale of star-crossed lovers to life at Centenary Stage Company’s Little
Theatre. Possibly one of William Shakespeare's most well known stories, Romeo
and Juliet is a romantic tragedy where two young people fall in love
but are doomed. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the
Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud, and the tragic ending
seems almost inevitable. Romeo and Juliet was among Shakespeare's
most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his
most frequently performed.
The cast of Romeo and Juliet is made up entirely of
Centenary University theatre students. The cast for this production includes:
Kayla Yepez as Juliet, Danny Paternina as Romeo, Kylie Smith as Nurse, Madison
Rhine as Benvolio, James Brandes as Mercutio/Page/Prince, Mark Squindo as Friar
Laurence/Sampson, Christopher Rice as Tybalt, Jerry Caviston as Lord Capulet,
Viviana Mendez as Lady Capulet/Apothecary, Robert Costa as Lord Montague/Peter,
Gabrielle Provini as Lady Montague/Rosalind/Nurse Standby, Jacoby Stewart as
Paris/Abram, Osaivbie Igiebor as Friar John/Gregory, and Evan Flick as
Baltzar/Peter Standby.
