Birth Place: Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, ENGLAND
Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, &Juliet at the Straz was a witty burst of female power, driven by knockout vocals. Anne’s challenge to Shakespeare to imagine a stronger woman set the whole story in motion. Though even with strong performances from the men, this show belonged to the women, and that felt exactly right for this moment.

The Scenic Designer, Billy Ferrell, and the Costume Designer, Simone Davis, worked together to create a fun, modern twist with a 60’s hippie flare to the production. You first meet the Athenians and discover the love triangles between all teens. Mylah Schmitt (Hermia) especially stood out with her ability to play a modern teenage attitude with Shakespeare words. We then meet the Mechanicals. This group is rehearsing a play for the Athenians. Ana Rosenbrein (Bottom) was a standout in her energy and strong physical acting skills for comedic relief. The Fairies are then introduced and cause a bit of mayhem for everyone. Troi Steele (Puck) was fun, mischievous and ambivalent to all the chaos he caused.

Jen Silverman’s The Roommate is a tight two-hander about two empty-nesters who move in together due to economic necessity (and other, spoilery reasons), and end up in a situation neither could have predicted. The Odd Couple + The Golden Girls seems like the obvious sources of inspiration here, but this play takes a hard pivot that is both surprising and hilarious. Under the expert direction of Curt Columbus–his last show as Artistic Director, the pace is quick and the laughs are abundant.
