romeo + Juliet

w/The Family Crest

A Spectacular Retelling of The World’s Greatest Love Story

*Produced as Jacaranda Collective with Sam Bianchini, Halie Smith, Bailey Savage, and Kade Cox


NOVEMBER 2019

The Den Theatre’s Heath Stage

Somewhere between a rock concert and a classic Shakespearean play, Romeo+Juliet found new life through enigmatic staging, engaging choreography and an emotionally expressive soundtrack performed live by indie rock darlings, The Family Crest. Treated as party guests, the audience was dropped into the middle of this sensational epic in an immersive night that felt like a music video had come to life.

Performed to a sold out crowd one weekend in 2019, the show was an unforgettable and one-of-a-kind immersive party, concert, and theatrical experience for all 600 people who experienced it.
