Theatre/Theater at The Playhouse

The drama doesn’t stop when the curtain goes up.

Go behind the scenes of a Southern regional theatre company mounting Romeo and Juliet, where the real action isn’t always onstage. From box office to backstage, from donor events to dressing rooms, personalities collide, egos bruise, and alliances shift as the production barrels toward opening night. With sharp wit and affectionate insight, this fast-moving comedy captures the beautifully chaotic world of theatre-making, where timing is everything, nothing goes quite as planned, and the offstage drama can rival Shakespeare’s own. It’s messy. It’s hilarious. It’s all too real.
