Oddfellows Playhouse Teen Repertory Company and ARTFARM present Shakespeare&rsquo\;s \; Romeo and Juliet November 13-15 and 21- 22. All performances will be held at Oddfellows Playhouse\, 128 Washington Street\, Middletown.
\n\nRome and Juliet \;is a timeless classic that speaks to the courageous and tender hearts of teens\, the meddling of families\, and the conflicts of &lsquo\;us and them.&rsquo\; It explores young love\, grief and delight\, misunderstanding\, self-harm\, and how choices ripple through a community. Sword fighting\, Renaissance dance\, broken hearts\, wordplay\, balconies\, poison\, young love&mdash\;and some of the most beautiful poetry e&rsquo\;er writ&rsquo\;.
\n\n&ldquo\;The cast of Romeo and Juliet&mdash\;courageous 14- to 21-year-olds&mdash\;have leapt into the rich Renaissance world with its bawdy humor\, pure innocence\, and life-and-death stakes. They&rsquo\;ve immersed themselves in verse\, metrical structure and text analysis\, fight and dance while revealing their hearts with grace\, elegance and truth&rdquo\; says \; Marcella Trowbridge Director\, Romeo &\; Juliet and Executive Director of ARTFARM. She continues &ldquo\;These brave young souls are encouraged by a supportive team of professional artists helping them grow and shine.&rdquo\; \;

Scenic Design is by Dan Schmidt\, Costume Design by Christian Milik\, \; Sound Design by Joseph Getter\, Choreography by Kaia Monroe\, Fight Choreography by Meg Buckner Furtick\, Lighting Design by Aaron Westcott\, Technical Direction Juan Galan\, and Properties Design by Pam Lang.
