Boomerang Theatre Company's world premiere production of Gina Femia's MERCUTIO LOVES ROMEO LOVES JULIET LOVES began rehearsals recently in preparation for a three week limited engagement run November 8th-24th, 2024 at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre at ART/NY Theatres (502 W 53rd St, New York NY). Scott Ebersold directs the production. Check out rehearsal photos below!

A modern, queer retelling of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, MERCUTIO LOVES ROMEO LOVES JULIET LOVES begins performances Friday, November 8th, and continues through Sunday, November 24th. Opening Night is Wednesday, November 13th (7:30pm).

The production stars Leah Nicole Raymond ("Deb & Joan", "Ring of Keys") as Ellie, Stacey Raymond (NBC’s “New Amsterdam”) as Britt, and Rocky Vega (CBS' “The Equalizer”) as Amber.

Ellie and Britt have been lifelong friends, lifelong haters of cheerleaders, and lifelong drama geeks, so when their All Girls Catholic School's drama club does Romeo and Juliet, they'll obviously be a part of it. But when Amber—a cheerleader with an injury—unexpectedly gets the lead across from Britt, Ellie's heart is turned upside down. Actually, all their hearts are.

The production features design by Emmett Grosland, Sam Kaseta, Brynne Oster-Bainnson, Kristen VanDerlyn, and Derek Van Heel. The show is choreographed by Brad Landers (“Let’s Have a Kiki’ music video, The Scissor Sisters). The production is stage-managed by Michelle Elizabeth and Assistant Stage Managed by Rachel McPherson, with Production Management by Vaibu Mohan and Technical Direction by Curtis Howard. Amy Lau Croyle and Alex Conder are Associate Producers. Publicity and Marketing Consulting by Katie Rosin/Kampfire PR.

MERCUTIO LOVES ROMEO LOVES JULIET LOVES  is the third play in Boomerang's nine-play “Super Season,” running from 2023 to 2026. This season features six new plays and three free productions of Shakespeare plays. By offering a long-term vision, the “Super Season” aims to provide stability for our artists and staff, as well as a clear roadmap for funders and donors. Boomerang Theatre Company, now in its 26th season, is led by Artistic Director Tim Errickson.
