Romeo and Juliet is a second year Grad Acting production. Similar to Project/Project but not quite that, this show took place in two theaters, (both alike in dignity) and the action was live streamed from one to another. In the Walker, the set is trying to give these foolish kids some agency, it is a place of creation and entertainment, with traces of years of continuous expression over every wall and the floor. The portal to the other theatre is the TV, bringing us back to reality, grounding us, but also making us feel like when the lights turn on in the nightclub signaling the sun is up and the party is over.
