ECT presents Romeo and Juliet during 12th season of Shakespeare in the Park
ELORA – When two young star-crossed lovers lock eyes across a crowded dance floor, their hearts are forever bound.
But can their love survive the brutal blood feud that has torn apart their rival families, the Capulets and Montagues?
The greatest love story of all time, Romeo and Juliet, has captivated audiences and artists for centuries and provided the inspiration for hundreds of films, ballets, operas, novels and the iconic Broadway musical West Side Story.
This production is a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare, officials state in a press release
