Romeo & Juliet at Santa Susana Performing Arts Center

Set in a city torn apart by an ongoing feud, Romeo and Juliet follows two young people who meet by chance and are quickly drawn into a secret romance that defies their families and the rules of their world. As they struggle to keep their love alive, tensions rise around them, and every choice carries greater risk. 

Moving from public clashes to private vows, the play traces how love, loyalty, and violence collide, sweeping friends and families into the turmoil. Lyrical, fast-paced, and emotionally charged, Romeo and Juliet is a gripping exploration of how passion can challenge a divided society—and why this story continues to demand to be seen live onstage.
