As a human race, we have become dependent on decaying rules and structures. This dependence has resulted in a universal agreement to numb ourselves from the world's hardships, to accept suffering, and to ignore the injustice that riddles our society. Romeo and Juliet is a story where the young challenge the world’s forced conditions through guttural questioning. These dissections result in acts of extreme love and violence, causing the dichotomy in human nature to reveal itself. We see R&J as a proclamation of the greatness the rising generation holds. We are eager to take this iconic story of young love and hate into the passionate and driven hands of our young company. What happens when young voices are not heard? What is our responsibility to love and hate? What do we do to survive? Is there a difference between life and survival? Through this production, we confront the world we live in and ignite the power we hold within!
