In Verona, the Montagues and Capulets have been enemies for so long that hatred has become an inheritance. Romeo and Juliet meet at a party, fall in love before they know each other’s names, and imagine a future beyond the feud that has shaped their lives.
Their hope moves quickly. So does the violence around them. Friends take up swords, parents make plans, and a series of desperate choices carries the young lovers toward an ending the audience knows but cannot stop.
Romeo & Juliet is both an exhilarating story of first love and a devastating portrait of a community that teaches its children to carry old grievances.
Playing at the East Sonora Theatre, 13891 Mono Way, Sonora, CA, 1/4 mile east of The Junction Shopping Center.
