The SF Shakespeare Festival brings Romeo and Juliet to the library! One of Shakespeare's most famous plays, the story follows two star-crossed teenagers as they fall in love despite the two families' bitter feud. In this interpretation set in the 60's when generations clashed on how to navigate change, director Katja Rivera shows how lives can change in an instant.

This production, a one-hour version thoughtfully cut from Shakespeare's original texts, features walk-on roles for volunteers to join in the fun and concludes with a short Q&A session with the cast. 

The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival makes the words and themes of Shakespeare accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, financial status, or education level.
