Experience the return of the Riotous Youth of Maryland as they stage their first performance since 2019. This 90-minute Romeo and Juliet culminates Riotous Youth's semester of training, exploration and play.
The most famous story about teenagers ever told has yet to lose its compelling edge.
​
Romeo and Juliet’s intense passion lights up a world of increasing violence between rival gangs, the Montagues and the Capulets. Caught in the spiral of hate and revenge, can they break free of the bloodshed and find hope for a different future?
​
Under the direction and training of two Maryland Renaissance Festival ensemble members, the young members of Riotous Youth (ages 9–15) perform Shakespeare's timeless story of a broken society's impact on young lives.
‘Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?’
