The Gilded Age in New York City: a moment of explosive industrial growth, staggering inequality, and rigid social division. It is within this landscape of class hatred and social imbalance that Romeo and Juliet find each other, two teenagers who are young, impulsive, and innocent of the adult grievances surrounding them. The history of the Gilded Age and the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet loom as a warning: when humanity gets lost in division, hate, and fear, the first things we sacrifice are compassion, connection, and a hopeful future for our children. * Pay What You Will ticket pricing is available for the 7:30 performance on August 3 (online beginning a week prior to the performance date and in person at the box office on the day of the show). A prologue discussion with the cast will take place before this performance at 6:30pm. * Theatricum is located outdoors and it can get quite chilly in the canyon at night, so be sure to bring warm layers for evening performances and sun protection during the day. You are encouraged to come early to enjoy the gardens before the show. You are welcome to bring a picnic, but food and drink are not permitted inside the theatre itself (except water). Parking is available for free along Topanga Cyn Blvd or in the Theatricum lot for $10 per car. This fee is waived for guests with handicap placards.
