Napa Valley College Performing Arts presents an innovative take on “Romeo and Juliet” on the mainstage at the Performing Arts Center, directed by Jennifer King and Olivia Cowell.

This “Romeo & Juliet” production is a modern take on Shakespeare’s classic and recalls moments from the virtual production we had staged in 2020. Our in-person performances will include innovative set elements and the use of mixed media such as projections and live cameras manipulated onstage by actors. These elements are to amplify the characters’ plight of re-examining choices.

“Romeo and Juliet” will feature a cast of NVC students. Pilar Gonzalez who was Romeo in the digital production reprises her role in this production. Jessica Romeo, an alumni guest artist, as the nurse also returns.  Additional cast members include: Ariana Nijem, Kara Poon, Xathanael Todd, Karolina Weiss, Erin Smith, Tessa Mello, Vienna Spezza Sylvia Vargas, Jayson Adkins, Emily Fernandez, Ginna Beharry, Anthony Munoz, Milan Alas and alumni guest artist Kevin Rebultan.

Performance Dates: April 22, 23, 29, 30 at 7pm, April 24 and May 1 at 2pm.
Tickets: Pay-What-You-Can
