Ryan Crowder,  Producing Artistic Director


Shakespeare’s tale of young lovers swept into a catastrophic vortex of misunderstandings, secrets and fate is one of the most beloved stories of all time. In this fresh adaptation for five actors, Romeo and Juliet, the son and daughter of two noble families locked in an old feud, are irresistibly drawn to each other. Defying the hatred and distrust surrounding them, they dare to believe they can, and must, be together. Click here for a full synopsis of the play.

Performances take place in the amphitheater of Centennial Plaza, just blocks away from historic downtown Round Rock. Romeo & Juliet is directed by Steven Pounders and runs June 5-28, 2014.
