Shakespeare Youth Festival 2026 opens February 28 Shakespeare Youth Festival 2026 opens February 28 with Cymbeline & Romeo and Juliet. CYMBELINE - Can’t decide which is your favorite Shakespearean plot device? We’ve got ‘em all! Mistaken identities and secret marriages; banishment and betrayal, long-lost siblings; potions, prophecies, and divine intervention; murder, war … and a happy ending that ties up almost all the loose ends! ROMEO & JULIET - A long-simmering feud between two rival families comes to a boil when young Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet try to step across the line drawn in the sand. One of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedies, no matter how many times we see it, we still hold out hope that this time it will end differently. Next up - Comedy of Errors opens March 14!! Buy your tickets today! (link in bio) #cymbeline #romeojuliet #shakespeare #itsfuntododifficultthings #repertorytheatre

Happy Mardi Gras!! Mardi Gras has its roots in Lup Happy Mardi Gras!! Mardi Gras has its roots in Lupercalia, the festival mentioned in “Julius Caesar.” To me, one of the most intriguing and “characters” in JC is the Citizens. And our Citizens are killing it - check out these stunning masks that they’ve created to celebrate the Lupercal!! Come see it at the Hudson Backstage, March 2 & 3, and March 9 & 10 [link in bio] And a huge thanks to @zissyrozen who artfully guided our Players in creating their masks!!! #shakespeare #juliuscaesar #artsaveslives #syfla #lupercalia
