American Repertory Ballet will present Artistic Director Douglas Martin's full-length Romeo and Juliet, set to Prokofiev's score, on Thursday, April 16 at 7:30pm at McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, NJ.

'King Hedley II,' in Timothy Douglas' riveting and thrilling production now at Arena Stage, portrays life in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the early 1980's. The six-character play is a symphony of rage, despair, hope, regret, love and determination. Douglas has staged Wilson's play in the round with a spare, concrete-inflected set. The production has a deliberate, ritualistic tone, with the actors assembling in silence and remaining visible throughout the performance.
