The Atlanta Shakespeare Co. Presents ROMEO & JULIET, 2/4 - 2/28

The Shakespeare Tavern's production of Romeo and Juliet has been an Atlanta Valentine Tradition for over 10 years. Students and adults alike flock to this gem of a theater in Midtown Atlanta every February to celebrate love, lust and teenage angst. Because the Tavern practices Original Practice Shakespeare (they are invested in producing shows exactly as the text specifies) you get a real look at the Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare intended: which means tons of laughs, all of that Italian passion and a bawdy good time.

On Fridays and Sundays we will do a raffle for our audience members to win a chance to recite the Prologue before that night's performance. Each night's winner gets coached by a member of The Acting Company; they get to wear a costume and they get their picture taken on our stage!  

Performances run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM, and Sundays at 6:30 PM. 10 AM most Tuesday and Wednesdays, February 4 - February 28.
