Romeo & Juliet
Our most successful production to date, Romeo and Juliet is back from a sold out US tour. Join the more than 100,000 students from across North America that have been inspired by this stunning production with a new respect for Shakespeare. Wandering players transform their unadorned Elizabethan surrondings into a playing space with a chalk circle, and the audience's imagination. This stunning production captures the youthful passion, beauty and ultimate tragedy of Shakespeare's timeless story.
Welcome to Classical Theatre Project’s 10th Anniversary Season! It’s amazing what we’ve accomplished together over the last ten years. When we began in 2001, we performed to just 2,000 students. Ten years later, we are Canada’s largest producer of Shakespeare for teen audiences – and one of Toronto’s largest theatre companies!
Since the beginning, we have been committed to producing the best classical theatre for students. We are committed to three core beliefs:
We believe that young people should experience Shakespeare live.
We believe that students of all backgrounds can recognize themselves and their world in Shakespeare’s plays.
We believe that by using theatre to stimulate, educate and inspire students, we can increase their confidence and cultural literacy.
Over the last ten years, we’ve worked together with teachers to inspire, educate and entertain over half a million students in Toronto, Ottawa and the US with Shakespeare. Together, we are building a movement to prove to teens that Shakespeare doesn’t have to be boring. Classical Theatre Project truly is theatre for a new generation.
Thanks for ten great years and here’s to ten more!
Sincerely, David Galpern & Charles Roy
