recruitment event. For more information on all show events, visit

“Romeo and Juliet” is among Shakespeare’s most widely performed plays. The
first half is a hilarious comedy and the second half is a devastating
tragedy. The play follows the story of a young man and woman who long to be
together, despite their families’ vicious feud. “Romeo and Juliet” evokes
the promise of a deep and satisfying love felt in youth – a promise that a
violent and unfeeling society makes sure is never kept.



The Theatre Arts Program at The University of Akron equips undergraduate
and graduate students with a broad knowledge of theatre arts and
fundamental practical skills in order to prepare them to address the
emerging issues and challenges of the theatre profession and a diverse and
vibrant society. The Theatre Arts Program provides high quality educational
and artistic experiences that enhance the cultural lives of all students at
The University of Akron, as well as the residents of the greater Akron
community and the Northeast Ohio region.
