Performances will begin on&nbsp;<u>Wednesday, June 12 and continue through Sunday, June 30 at&nbsp;</u><strong><u>Pinkney Park</u></strong><u>&nbsp;(177 Rowayton Avenue) in Norwalk, CT.

Since its first performance in the mid 1590’s the story of&nbsp;<em>Romeo and Juliet&nbsp;</em>is a timeless testament to the power of love over hate.</p><p>“One thing that struck me about Romeo and Juliet is how young they are - and the passion, vibrancy, and defiance that comes with youth,” says director&nbsp;<strong>Claire Karpen</strong>. “These kids have hopes and dreams that are chafing against a world fractured by mistakes inherited from the previous generation. To capture that teenage electricity, set it in tension with a crumbling world, and honor the rich and beautiful history of the play itself, we came up with this concept: six students trespass in the ruins of a church to engage in a clandestine ritual, the retelling of&nbsp;<em>Romeo and Juliet</em>. As they flirt, tease, fight and fall in love, they will help us discover the story anew. It will be innovative, immersive, and virtuosic; and it will conjure an experience for the audience that is romantic and thrilling; hilarious and devastating; contemporary and classic. And above all, I hope it can remind us that love remains the ultimate act of defiance.”</p><p>The six-member cast includes&nbsp;<strong>Kendall Cafaro</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Juliet</em>, as cast),&nbsp;<strong>Ray Huth</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Tybalt</em>, as cast),&nbsp;<strong>Noah Michal</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Lady Capulet</em>, as cast),&nbsp;<strong>Jahsiah Mussig</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Mercutio</em>, as cast),&nbsp;<strong>Jater Webb</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Romeo</em>, as cast), and&nbsp;<strong>Amelia Windom</strong>&nbsp;(<em>Nurse,</em>&nbsp;as cast).</p><p>The creative team is&nbsp;<strong>Brian Prather</strong>&nbsp;(<em>set design</em>),&nbsp;<strong>Jamie Roderick</strong>&nbsp;<em>lighting design</em>),&nbsp;<strong>Grier Coleman</strong>&nbsp;(<em>costume design</em>),&nbsp;<strong>Chad Rains</strong>&nbsp;(<em>sound design</em>),&nbsp;<strong>Tommy Rose</strong>&nbsp;(<em>properties</em>),&nbsp;<strong>Sean Fletcher Griffin</strong>&nbsp;(<em>fight director</em>), and&nbsp;<strong>Amaal Saifudeen</strong>&nbsp;(<em>intimacy director</em>) and&nbsp;<strong>Malia Robbins-Zust</strong>&nbsp;(<em>technical director</em>).&nbsp;<strong>Aaron Simms</strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<strong>Managing and Producing Director</strong>.
