Romeo and Juliet

American Shakespeare Center, 10 S. Market Street, Staunton

Thursday, August 28th through November 15 the American Shakespeare Center presents Romeo and Juliet.

“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night”

Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare’s most iconic story of young love—reckless, tender, and all-consuming. Set in the early 2000s, it’s a rush of poetry and passion, filled with stolen moments, whispered vows, and the raw belief that love can change everything.

Every glance, every heartbeat, every choice is right there, close enough to feel. Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or all over again, Romeo and Juliet endures—because hope never goes out of style, no matter the decade.
