Romeo and Juliet
directed by George Mount
In war-torn Verona occupying forces have turned the streets for local citizens into a battlefield. Yet in this culture of violence hope emerges when two young strangers discover a love that makes them forget their historical bitter hostility. When friends, family and even faith conspire against their love, drastic measures lead to dire consequences. Romeo and Juliet is a timeless clarion call for peace and reconciliation in a conflict-ravaged culture.

A Midsummer
Night's Dream
directed by Vanessa Miller
A bit of glittering Vegas-pixie dust is sprinkled over lovers and fools alike in this casino-themed take on Shakespeare’s most popular comedy. The stakes are high for fairy rulers Oberon and Titania as they gamble with love and power, drawing two sets of mortal lovers and a handyman/actor called Bottom into their wicked game. The wild card in this stacked deck is Puck who magically muddles the romance and comic confusion to dizzying heights.
