Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble's NYC school tour of Romeo & Juliet perform for the public on Friday, April 5th at the Irondale Center in Brooklyn.
Directed by Peter Romano and featuring live musical elements performed by the cast, this pared down production has been adapted for young audiences and will transform academic spaces into the streets of Verona, giving students a front row seat to a unique theatrical experience.
Romeo & Juliet will star Priyanka Kedia, Ellis Craig, Jamil Mangan, Justin Viz, Brynne McManimie, Eli Bridges, Alice Renier, and Kea Trevett.
The creative team for Romeo & Juliet will include Costume Designer Dina El Aziz, Fight & Intimacy Director Leana Gardella, Dramaturg K. Ann McDonald, and live music composed by Eli Bridges. The production has been cast by Peter Dunn, and Ali Walensky is the production stage manager.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet speaks to many of the burdens faced by young people in our post-pandemic society: loss, identity, and the challenges of confronting unexamined assumptions about themselves, their families, and their world. Learn more about the company's education mission here.
*This production was made possible in part by the generous support of the Bessie Foundations and the Shakespeare in American Communities Grant, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
