The Romeo & Juliet Senior Citizens Project, A Comedy
Advertisement
We are thrilled to present this workshop production of Jami Brandli's new play! Katie Taylor Bradshaw is directing, and she is assisted by Marc Hyde (More information coming soon)
Lucas, a recent Yale MFA graduate, is hired to direct an abridged production of Romeo and Juliet for a local senior citizens retirement facility. Hilarious complications arise among the elder actors during rehearsals as an unexpected romance re-blossoms between Rich and Rose, the two star-crossed lovers/residents at the facility. As this comedy about second chances unfolds, we’ll watch both Lucas and his cast of headstrong seniors wrestle with Shakespeare and real-life drama. But will they be able to come together as a team and actually pull off opening night? The odds are against them, but the play must go on…no matter what.
