Freshmen Pitch to Local Theater Experts

Posted on January 9, 2025

Students point to the Smartboard presenting their ideas on lighting a scene in Romeo and Juliet.

You may know Romeo and Juliet but can you sell a new take on this iconic story to some of our top theater experts?

Thank you to Matt Strote @sigtheatre and Juliane Havens @shakespeareindc for participating in our English 9 project. Students pitched for Romeo and Juliet in a retirement community, in a long distance relationship, as Artificial Intelligence platforms discovering love, and during the time of the samurai. What new world would you create for the star-crossed lovers?
