3/5 to 3/7/2015 Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival: Romeo & Juliet

Join the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival for a special three-night-only run of our NDSF: ON TOUR production of ROMEO AND JULIET, March 5-7 at 7:00pm at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center's Philbin Studio Theatre on the campus of Notre Dame. The play has been abridged for touring and will run 75 minutes with no intermission.

See Verona burst to life with live acoustic music, stunning sword fights, Shakespeare’s brilliant and beautiful wordplay, and a tale all young people (and parents) must hear: when we love with too much passion, can any guidance prevent all from being lost?

Directed by NDSF's Ryan Producing Artistic Director Grant Mudge and featuring actors from Chicago Shakes, Montana Shakespeare in the Park, the Utah Shakespeare Festival, Steppenwolf and more, don't miss this chance to catch "R&J" before it embarks on its statewide school tour.

TICKETS ON SALE NOW!  $20 for adults, $15 for ND faculty/staff, and $10 for students.

Designed to provide intimate access to the words and wonder of Shakespeare’s plays, NDSF: ON TOUR productions are based on a small-cast touring model, with an intense focus on the playwright’s use of language, together with just a few simple props and added costume-pieces. When a character speaks of the forest of Arden or Verona’s walls while standing in a school gymnasium or auditorium, the audience’s imagination creates the setting. With heart and humor, the actors invite each audience to become invested in the proceedings.
