The Tony Award-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival will celebrate its 75th anniversary this season, and while patrons will notice celebratory signs and banners as well as opportunities to sit in on historical lectures and talks throughout the season, the primary celebration is onstage. OSF has promised its audiences, to whom it has dedicated this milestone season that it will continue to focus energies on producing great plays this year.
Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Arthur Laurents is set to participate in a talkback after the February 23rd performance of ROMEO AND JULET. The show, directed by Penny Metropulos, will open at the Baruch Performing Arts Center on February 19th and play through the 27th.
Building on the success of their critically acclaimed 2009 production of Henry V, The Acting Company and Guthrie Theater will again showcase the talents of young performers from their ranks in a co-production and national tour of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Penny Metropulos.
Director Penny Metropulos transports the play to turn-of-the-century Verona, where the warring houses of Capulet and Montague first attack each other with their canes - before they unleash the blades underneath. But amidst all this strife Romeo and Juliet still find each other - in a night illuminated by fireworks. But fate doesn't let their bliss last long, as increasing violence and opposition lead the two lovers to their ultimate fate.
