For its fall production, Harwood Union High School’s theater program has picked the classic Shakespeare tale of star-crossed lovers, "Romeo & Juliet," presented this coming Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 10-12.
In this telling, the iconic tragic love story gets a modern take with political undertones as Director Scott Weigand returns for another year of guiding students in the theatrical arts.
The cast of 8th-through-12th graders is led by junior Ben Robinson and sophomore Zoe Blackman as Romeo and Juliet.
Seniors Lucie Ruggiero, Maddie Thibault, Sage Haddock and Ariana Clark support as the Nurse, the Friar, the Prince, and Mercutio. The cast also includes 8th graders Tarin Askew, Camille Edgecomb, Marley Green, Emma Aither, and Eireann McDonough; freshmen Max Maylin, Daisy Proof, and Casey Klus; sophomores Theo Ritter, Kai Haddock, and Seneca Whittingham. Freshman Grady Hagenbach is stage manager.
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. each night with tickets $10 for adults and $5 for students. Weigand said the show is appropriate for all ages.
