Beginning September 1, our Fall 2025 tour will offer this famous love story from Shakespeare's early career in addition to Midsummer. Book either show, or one of each!

Through energy, humor, and heart, audiences will experience the timeless tale of star-crossed lovers caught between feuding families. By blending languages and cultural influences, this production makes Shakespeare accessible, relevant, and deeply engaging for modern audiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the price?

A: If we come to your venue for a single show, the cost is $795. If we do two shows back-to-back, then it’s $1,295. But don't let these numbers discourage you - thanks to our generous supporters, we can work with you to fit your budget!

 

Q: Why do two shows back-to-back? 

A: For different groups or grade levels.  We try to limit each performance to about 100 audience members - this minimizes the challenge for audience members of coming and going, and it helps ensure that everyone is close enough to the action to see and hear everything.

 

Q: Do we need to have a theater or special equipment at our venue?  Where can the show be put on?

A: No theater or special equipment is necessary!  All we need is a playing space of at least 12 feet by 12 feet and access to an electrical outlet. Thanks to the magic of theatre, we can do the show in virtually any space, from a multi-purpose room to a library, and from a gym to a legit auditorium! No microphones or stage lights are needed either - our actors are trained to project, and they're sure to keep your attention!

 

Q: Why is this better (and more affordable) than bringing students to a live performance at a theater?

A: It can cost over $1,000 to rent school buses for 100 students (in fact, one school recently had to pay over $3,000 for its buses), and those students often have to miss an entire day of school. This way there's no bus, no field trip, and no red tape - just a great theatre experience that fits neatly into your schedule!

 

Q: What’s the process for scheduling?

A: Just give us a couple of dates and times that work for you, and we’ll make a soft reservation – we’ll always try to give you your first choice. We’ll also send you an invoice – as soon as that invoice is paid, your reservation is set in stone. Our general rule is: at least half the amount needs to be paid two weeks before the performance date, though, if that’s a problem for your venue, let us know and we’ll try to work with you – we want to make it easier for everyone to see live theatre, not harder. 🙂

 

Q: When will I get the study guide?

A: Supporting materials will go out at least a week before the performance. 

 

Q: What happens on the day of the show?

A: Our actors will arrive in a single vehicle – they’ll be carrying all of their costumes. props, and scenery, as well as the contact info for you or the person you designate. They’ll need access to the performance space about 30 minutes before the scheduled start time to set up and get into costume. They’ll watch for your signal to begin (no intro is necessary unless you want), and, after the performance, the actors will launch right into the Q&A. If there’s a second performance, they’ll need about 30 minutes in between to reset for top-of-show, use the restroom, and change costumes (though it will usually take at least that long for the first audience to leave and the second one to come in). And at the end, they’ll need the same 30 minutes to load everything back into their vehicle. The actors will not accept any payments unless you've arranged that with us beforehand.
