Shakespeare at The Beach, Romeo & Juliet, Brown Box Theatre Project, Free, Open Public Performances, Maryland, Delaware, September 7th through September 14th
Brown Box Theatre Project is returning to its home on the Eastern Shore with an exciting production of Romeo & Juliet. The Director is Kyler Taustin, one of Ocean City, Maryland’s, own. He is proud to be heading up the Second Annual Free Shakespeare at the Beach.
Romeo & Juliet is the tale of tragedy as star-crossed lovers take their life.
Brown Box Theatre Project was founded in 2010. It has been producing quality theatre along the East Coast, including venues in Boston, New York, Maryland, and Delaware. This year Brown Box has expanded the tour to Downtown Berlin and Snow Hill, as well as adding more educational workshops and performances for local students in Worcester and Wicomico Counties.
Last year, Brown Box produced Twelfth Night as its inaugural performance of Free Shakespeare at the Beach. The goal of this initiative is to offer free outdoor productions of Shakespeare’s plays to communities that may not have access to the arts and to introduce these iconic plays to the non-theatre audience as they are meant to be seen – – as live theatre. After Twelfth Night was incredibly well received on the Easter Shore (press coverage can be found at http://www.brownboxtheatre.org/12N.html), Brown Box is thrilled to be returning with a longer run as it continues to make Shakespeare at the Beach a yearly event on the Eastern Shore.
Romeo & Juliet will be performed September 7th through September 14th at various locations throughout the Eastern Shore, including private performances at several local grade schools and high schools. Visit the website http://www.brownboxtheatre.org for more information.
