Romeo and Juliet

Ohio Shakespeare Festival

Akron, OH
Professional Theatre

By: William Shakespeare

February 6 - March 2, 2025

Show Description:

The two dignified households, those two star-crossed lovers, and that one famous balcony. Ohio Shakes presents Shakespeare’s classic tale of young romance and dazzling swordplay. This ageless and fresh production is sure to remind us all that Romeo and Juliet is one of Will’s most engaging comedies, right up until that fated moment when tragedy strikes.

In summer 2018, Romeo & Juliet was the best attended show in Ohio Shakespeare’s nearly 20 year history. We bring it back to life indoors this time as only the second Shakespeare title to grace the Henry C. Bishop stage.

Ideal for students and adults alike, this production in unencumbered by concepts or gimmicks, allowing Shakespeare’s words, actions, and story to shine. It is the perfect way to introduce young folks to the Bard, or a refreshing night of unburdened Shakespeare for the seasoned fan.
