The American Shakespeare Center will be staging a production of Romeo and Juliet on February 25th. Tickets are $10 each, but honors students have an opportunity to receive free tickets to the play and participate in a discussion the night before.

On Friday, February 24th at 5 p.m. in the Joynes Reading Room, James Loehlin will introduce the play and the production, talking about the centrality of Romeo and Juliet to representations of love in Western culture.  He will also consider the range of interpretations the play has occasioned, discuss the American Shakespeare Center production style, and give some ideas about things to watch for in the performance.

Students may reserve their spot in the discussion and claim one of the free tickets by signing up (in person) at the front desk of the Joynes Room, while supplies last.
