“Romeo and Juliet,” one of Shakespeare’s great masterpieces, takes the stage at UA this spring.
Akron, OH – The University of Akron (UA) Theatre program continues its season with William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Directed by Terence Cranendonk, Associate Lecturer in Theatre, the play features a diverse cast of eleven UA students from various majors at the university, one UA alumnus, and one community member. Performance dates are March 8-10 and 15-17, 2018 at 7:30 P.M. and March 11 and 17 at 2:00 P.M. at Sandefur Theatre in Guzzetta Hall, 157 University Avenue on The University of Akron campus.

“Romeo and Juliet” is among Shakespeare’s most widely performed plays. The first half is a hilarious comedy and the second half is a devastating tragedy. The play follows the story of a young man and woman who long to be together, despite their families’ vicious feud. “Romeo and Juliet” evokes the promise of a deep and satisfying love felt in youth – a promise that a violent and unfeeling society makes sure is never kept.
