MNM Theatre Company presents
Romeo and Juliet
Friday, March 4, at 7:00 p.m.
Romeo and Juliet is a classic tale that has been told over and over for centuries. That being said, it’s one of the most pertinent stories to modern day teens. The themes of young love, feuds, and the adults in their lives failing to help when kids need them most are universal. This very special version of the show highlights these themes in a way that makes the story feel fresh and creates an ending that needs to be seen to be believed (without changing the text or the plot). We introduce modern music in a movie score style to make the show more accessible for new theater goers and to set up our insane, multimedia ending. The script and the cast list has been trimmed down while staying true to the lifeblood of the show. The adaption makes this timeless classic feel like a heart-stopping new work that will have our teens falling in love with theater and classic literature in a way that respects the original while bringing a breath of fresh modernity.
General Admission: $15 Adults, $10 Seniors and children under 18.
