'Romeo & Juliet'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Written by William Shakespeare and Directed by Max Shulman. These violent delights have violent ends. In his first production as Theatreworks’ Artistic Director, Max Shulman (An Iliad, Free-for-All: Pericles, Henry IV & V) returns to the Bard with a bold new vision of Romeo & Juliet. This fresh take on Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy marks a full-circle moment—honoring Theatreworks’ very first Shakespeare production in 1976. Passion, violence, and poetry collide in this electric staging, proving that the tale of star-crossed lovers is as urgent, dangerous, and heartbreaking as ever. UCCS students are always free. Contact the box office in person or by phone with your student ID to reserve seats. This production contains violence, suicide, and themes of intergenerational trauma. As each audience member is different, we don't make age recommendations, but if you have questions about the material or wish to read a copy of the work in advance, please email [email protected].
