Knoxville Children’s Theatre: Romeo & Juliet
Sep 16 – Oct 2 (Thu-Sun performances)
109 E. Churchwell Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37917

The play will be performed Thursdays and Fridays at 7 PM, Saturdays at 1 PM (*no 5 PM performances), and Sundays at 3 PM. This production brings this classic play to life on stage for teens to better understand and appreciate the writing of William Shakespeare. After all Shakespeare’s works were meant to be performed and not just read. Adapted especially for middle and high school students and one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, Romeo and Juliet is the story of an age-old vendetta between two powerful families (the Montagues and the Capulets) that erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father’s choice, the County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next day, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin, Tybalt, for which Romeo is banished. The play is performed by twenty seven talented young actors from ages 10 to 17.
