Kentucky Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet

Your Heart. Your Fate.

Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene. Touring from Louisville, Kentucky Shakespeare’s professional touring company will bring this timeless tale of star-crossed lovers to life on the Lexington Children’s Theatre stage. Shortened to just 75 minutes, this production is perfect for a family member’s first introduction to Shakespeare and for a seasoned Shakespeare lover who is looking for more.

Romeo & Juliet is produced by Kentucky Shakespeare as part of their 2027 Shakespeare in the Parks tour. Kentucky Shakespeare serves communities through the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in Central Park, education programs for schools, public performances, and community outreach programs. Now in its 66th season, the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in Central Park is the longest-running free, non-ticketed Shakespeare festival in the United States. As the most comprehensive in-school arts education provider in the Commonwealth, Kentucky Shakespeare serves schools throughout the region with interactive educational programming directly tied to academic standards, helping impact student achievement. Our many community programs explore conflict resolution, empathy building, and communication, in a range of settings from parks to prisons, from preschools to senior centers.
