The Strand Theater Company Concludes its Season With R/J

The Strand Theater Company concludes its 15th Anniversary Season as Baltimore’s women-centric company with the devised production of R/J, conceived by Baltimore artists Betse Lyons and O’Malley Steuerman. Adapted from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet by Aladrian C Wetzel and Elizabeth Ung. Devised by the R/J Ensemble. Directed by the Strand veteran director, Susan Stroupe.

About the show:

Conceiving Artists, O'Malley Steuerman and Betse Lyons on R/J :“ With a trans Romeo and a fat Juliet at its center, this newly-devised adaptation of the classic tale by William Shakespeare queers more than just the lovers’ relationship: family structures, violence, love, duty, identity, and even death. In every possible aspect of the production, we are centering trans folks, queer folks, fat folks, women, and people of color - all badass artists local to Baltimore. R/J has been a long time in the making, in so many ways, and we can’t wait to finally share it with you.    ” 

Cast features: Betse Lyons, O’Malley Steuerman, Makayla Beckles, Cirron Lanier Greenidge, Theodore Sherron III, Bex Vega, Shannon Willing, and Jacqueline Youm
