STUDENT-ONLY MATINEES

In addition to matinees that are open to the general public, MTC offers Theatre for Young Audiences (TFYA) student-only matinees for selected productions. Every student-only matinee is followed by a Talkback.

ROMEO AND JULIET
By William Shakespeare

November 24 – December 17, 2011 I Preview Nov. 23

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” – Juliet

"Two households, both alike in dignity"… but not much else. Director Steven Schipper re-envisions Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, setting the tale in the imagined Verona district of present-day Jerusalem. Muslim Capulets, Jewish Montagues and Christian friars bring the world’s greatest and enduring love story to a heightened relevancy. Staying true to Shakespeare’s language, this incarnation of the play shows how compassion and love, rather than conflict and violence, have the power to heal and redeem us.
