SYNOPSIS: This 50-minute adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet is an educational partnership between Gulfshore Playhouse, the Naples Philharmonic at Artis–Naples, and the Collier County Public Schools. Created for 11th-grade students, the performance combines the story of Shakespeare’s classic play with orchestral selections from Tchaikovsky's and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet Suites.
