New
Repertory Theatre New Repertory Theatre will open its inaugural season in the Arsenal Center for the Arts with "Romeo and Juliet." Performance dates are September 18 through October 9. The production is directed by Rick Lombardo,
Producing Artistic Director, who commented, “This production celebrates
everything about our new theatre – it's the perfect show to let
us stretch our wings. It's also a show I've wanted to produce for years,
because despite its Renaissance sensibilities, I believe it conveys
a powerful message about contemporary life. 'Romeo and Juliet'
demonstrates the tragic waste of a world given over to tribalism and
feudal conflict, a world that sacrifices the best and the brightest
of its youth to senseless conflict.” Lombardo is celebrating his
tenth season as New Rep's Producing Artistic Director. Lucas Hall (Romeo) makes his Boston-area
debut with "Romeo and Juliet." Having trained at the
North Carolina School of the Arts, Lucas has numerous Shakespearean,
television and New York credits. Joseph Plummer (Mercurio) also hails
from Brandeis University's MFA program. Among his Boston credits
are productions with Shakespeare & Company and
North Shore Music Theatre. Adam Zahler (Lord Montague/Peter)
received the 2005 Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding
Director for New Rep's production of "Permanent Collection"
and later this season will direct New Rep's production of "Frozen."
Previously a staff member of New Rep for seven seasons, Mr. Zahler also
directed the New Rep productions of "Kindertransport,"
"Stonewall Jackson's House," "Rose" and "No
Niggers, No Jews, No Dogs." For tickets and information, contact the box office at its new number, 617-923-8487 or visit www.newrep.com. -- OnStage Boston 08/23/05 |
