Friends! Romans! Francis Parker Theater Arts Lovers! Please join us for the Middle School spring play - William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet!  A Francis Parker tradition is to allow our Middle School thespians the opportunity to experience Shakespeare in all its comedic and dramatic glory! Romeo and Juliet tells the tale of a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families that disrupts the city of Verona and causes tragic results for the young lovers. Revenge, love, and a secret marriage force the star-crossed youths to grow up quickly — and fate causes their tragic endings. Contrast and conflict are running themes throughout Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet — one of the Bard's most popular romantic tragedies. Directed by Francis Parker Theater Arts Director, Reed Gabhart, a large cast and crew will bring this abridged production to life in the Goshen Campus Theater on Friday, April 14 at 7:00 p.m., Sunday, April 16 at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 18 at 6:30 p.m., and Wednesday, April 19 at 6:30 p.m. So spread the word because, after all, "For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo." All Francis Parker students (Preschool – 12th grade) and faculty/staff receive a complimentary show ticket. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for non-Francis Parker students. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. Cash, credit cards, and checks are accepted. PURCHASE TICKETS Romeo and Juliet is produced through special arrangement with Theatrefolk (theatrefolk.com).
