Long Island Shakespeare Festival Presents Free Performances of ROMEO & JULIET, Now thru 7/14

Suffolk County Community College is pleased to announce that The Long Island Shakespeare Festival will offer free public performances of an abridged version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet during summer 2013. The 13th season performances will be presented, rain or shine, at Suffolk County Community College's Ammerman Campus in Selden. The performances are free to the public and are funded by the Suffolk Community College Association - Ammerman Campus.

The public is encouraged to bring a chair or blanket and the family to one of the upcoming free performances, scheduled as follows: July 3 (preview) 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13 at 8:00 p.m., matinee performances will take place on July 7, 10 and 14 at 2:00 p.m. Please note that these are new performance times that differ from times offered during seasons past. Matinees will be held indoors in the Shea Theatre. All other performances will take place outdoors unless there is inclement weather, wherein they will move indoors to the Shea Theatre.

Everything is ripe for disaster when the eyes of young Romeo first meet those of the beautiful Juliet for the first time. Will their innocent, forbidden love become a healing balm and unite the feuding families, or is it really a star-crossed love that can only cause more hatred? Shakespeare's timeless love story thrills anew with each production and every generation.

The performance is directed by Steven Lantz-Gefroh. For further information call the LISF office 631-451-4163 or visit us on the Web at LIShakes.org.
