'Romeo and Juliet' at Circle Players

Circle Players will present William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" this May.

The show will take place at 8 p.m. April 25, 26, May 2, and at 3 p.m. May 3 and May 4. Tickets cost $18 for adults and $17 for seniors and students, and are available online. You also can make reservations by calling (732) 968-7555. No credit cards are accepted at the box office.

One of The Bard’s most well-known plays, the tragedy of two star-crossed lovers whose untimely deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. This contemporary production places the Bard’s timeless words in a modern setting – a private school. This is a perfect opportunity to introduce teenagers to the 16th-century world of Shakespeare while still making the play relevant to their lives.

The show is directed by Erik Hall and produced by Faith Dowgin.

The cast features Kristin Bennet, Debbie Campanali, Becca Dagnall, Lewis Decker, Charles Deitz, Chris Debono, Ed Faver, Roberto Forero, Daniel Hamm, Victor Martinez, Taryn Mateyka, Mary Morlino, George Rateau, Billy Rateau, Joshua Rowand, Lance Williams, Stacie Williamson, and Mark Zebro.

The theater is located at 416 Victoria Ave., Piscataway.

A wine and cheese reception and a celebration of William Shakespeare’s birthday will follow the opening night performance.
