Young love blooms brightly in the gardens of Verona, but it cannot escape the changing of the seasons. Directed by CSC’s Associate Artistic Director, Bryn Boice, this fresh and imaginative production sets Shakespeare’s heartfelt tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, inside Friar Laurence’s greenhouse, where young love and peril grow side by side. 

CSC’s annual Stage2 performances of Shakespeare’s most popular plays are designed for middle and high school audiences. Students just discovering Shakespeare  — and die-hard fans, as well  — won’t want to miss this tragically beautiful take on one of The Bard’s most famous works.

Stage2: Romeo and Juliet

Strand Theatre Dorchester

On the outskirts of a small Idaho town, an aunt and nephew who barely know each other find themselves sharing a house after a sudden loss. She’s blunt, guarded, and set in her routines. He’s grieving, adrift, and not sure why he came back. As they sort through a lifetime of things left behind, conversation comes slowly. Then all at once. What emerges isn’t resolution but it’s real and it’s what they need.

Little Bear Ridge Road is a spare, quietly funny play about grief, distance, and the uneasy work of letting another person in.
