“...Shakespeare’s eternal tragic story of young love between warring Italian families is performed free, outdoors, in six Chicago parks...
... more than just a famous tale of young love gone awry, ROMEO AND JULIET speaks to our present moment with a story of the tragic consequences when two clashing factions cannot or will not put forth effort to seek communication, understanding, and forgiveness….”
