Gamut Theatre Group's Harrisburg Shakespeare Company (HSC) is bringing its touring production of Romeo and Juliet to the Select Medical Mainstage at the New Gamut Theatre located at 15 N. 4th Street in downtown Harrisburg.

The production will open on March 17, 2017. The box office and bar will open at 6:30 p.m. and the play will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets to the performance are $12 and can be purchased in advance at www.GamutTheatre.org.

Romeo and Juliet will continue March 17-26, 2017 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. As always, Sunday performances are "pay what you will" where any size donation buys your admission.

"Did my heart love till now?" Gamut Theatre presents its highly acclaimed educational outreach production of Romeo and Juliet. One of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, this tale of star-crossed lovers follows the exuberant and volatile story of Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague as their young love rises above the contempt of their feuding families.

Recommended for ages 12 and up, the production is extremely accessible, employing Gamut's unique educational outreach style of combining Shakespeare's original text with modern "narrations" to bridge the most famous scenes from the play together into an easy-to-understand story. This dynamic show is performed by seven highly-talented actors, runs 90 minutes, and each performance is followed by a post show discussion with the audience.
