Slidell Little Theatre Presents "Romeo & Juliet"

Slidell Little Theatre brings to life an all new production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Set against the backdrop of warring households, a young Romeo sneaks into a masked ball where he first beholds Juliet and is thunderstruck by Cupid's arrow. As fate dictates, the archetypal young lovers succumb to the passion of forbidden love against the will of their powerful and unforgiving families. So ensues a story of romance, murder, and tragedy as famous as any that has graced the stage. 8 pm Fridays, 2 pm Saturdays and Sundays. $25, $20 for students. slidelllittletheatre.org.
