ROMEO Y JULIETA

A High School play under professional direction in a world-class outdoor theater turned out to be one my highlights for the Summer of '08.

This was an incredible performance by outstanding talented young people. The unique multilingual presentation (both in English and Spanish) was strange at first. I would even say uncomfortable for many - but as the play moved along and as the actors (White, Brown, Black, Yellow, Red) spoke both languages in appropriate sequences - it had a very powerful effect. Shakespeare transcends languages. Very innovative and refreshing.

Thank you Amber for the invite!
