Arachne Theater's fourth annual Summer Season is now a festival - "From The Tree" - and we welcome you to the free outdoor showing of our second play, William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." Arguably Shakespeare’s most enduring classic, "Romeo and Juliet" is a story of love, loss, and the failings of generations, both young and old. In this queer forward retelling, we put the focus on not just one romance shattered by generational conflict, but three.
