A Crew of Patches Theatre Company performs ‘Romeo and Juliet’ for Willowbrook freshmen

On April 20, Willowbrook freshmen had the opportunity to watch a performance of “Romeo and Juliet,” the epic play by William Shakespeare that tells the tragic love story of two teenagers from feuding families. The event was hosted by the Willowbrook English Department.

The production was performed by A Crew of Patches Theatre Company. According to www.acrewofpatches.org, the goal of the company is to produce “first-rate, full-length, First Folio-based Shakespeare for middle and high school students, making them see live classical theatre as an attractive entertainment and help them understand why we are still reading Shakespeare's plays 400 years after his death.”
