CAMBRIDGE, MA–Just as baseball season gets into full swing, Anthem Theatre Company presents Romeo VS. Juliet, a baseball rivalry-inspired vaudeville comedy version of Shakespeare’s classic, this June at Joan Lorentz Park in Cambridge.
Adapted by Johnny Kinsman, Anthem’s Associate Artistic Director and beloved Boston DUKW-boat personality “Plucky Ruffles,” Romeo VS. Juliet strikes out the tragedy of the famed romance and pitches some olde tyme song and dance. Complete with Coach “Friar” Lawrence caught in a rundown of “Who’s on First” and the bat-crossed title duo falling in love on the pitcher’s mound, this summer romp will please audiences of all ages.
The play, with music sourced from baseball’s golden age, will be performed outdoors and FREE of charge to the public at beautiful Joan Lorentz Park (Broadway & Ellery St., Cambridge, MA 02138) on June 19-21 and June 26-28. Friday performances are at 6:30pm, with Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm. Joan Lorentz Park is located in front of the Cambridge Public Library and is easily accessible via MBTA’s Red Line to Harvard Square Station. More information can be found at www.anthemtheatre.org
Romeo VS. Juliet is produced in part by a grant from The Hollister-Clagett Family Foundation for the Arts, a champion of new works. Performances are co-sponsored by Cambridge Arts Council.
