Critical Acclaim–

"Both beautiful and deeply moving. Making the play fresh enough to deliver emotional impact is a challenge. Another is finding two actors with enough power and maturity of technique to play these enormous roles, so full of poetry and passion…that challenge is handsomely met in Evan Jonigkeit's Romeo and Mahira Kakkar's Juliet. And what a brilliant stroke it was to cast Scott Greer as Lord Capulet, speaking the lines with a remarkable combination of naturalness and splendor."
–The Philadelphia Inquirer


"An ambitious production of Shakespeare's classic…a small army of gifted regional players living their lines with such intensity that it almost knocks your socks off. Special credit goes to Evan Jonigkeit (Romeo), Mahira Kakkar (Juliet), and Matt Pfeiffer, a director who knows what he wants and gets it." KYW [Review]

"A delightful, modern production of Romeo and Juliet, reminding us that though Shakespeare may seem a thing of the past its lessons about loyalty, family, violence, youth, and love still ring true. Perhaps the stand out technical element of the show is the Fight Direction by Dale Anthony Girard that leaves the audience on the edge of their seats waiting for the next quarrel to break out." –BroadwayWorld.com [Review]
