Romeo and Juliet

In partnership with Two River Theater Company, NAATCO will be producing an all-Asian American production of Romeo and Juliet, translated by Hansol Jung. Hear the classic tragicomedy in a new way as Jung's language elevates Shakespeare's stark humor.

After the reading series, we are now excited to see Romeo and Juliet in full production by NAATCO this spring.
