Romeo and Juliet...

Youth Conservatory
Past Production - July 2004
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Mace Archer

Venture's High School Youth Conservatory presents William Shakespeare's popular play about two "star-cross'd lovers." With their families at war, their love is forbidden. This tragic tale of love is so widely enjoyed, that the title characters are now seen as archetypal young lovers.

This time, the play is set in 1980's Billings, Montana.  The feuding families will be wearing Senior High Orange and Black and West High Gold and Black.
