Hastings College Department of Theatre Arts presents

The Annual Alpha Psi Omega Production for Youth

The Seussification of Romeo & Juliet
By Peter Bloedell
The Annual Alpha Psi Omega Production for Youth presents a whimsical reinvention of Shakespeare's classic love story, complete with rhyming couplets, creative wordplay, and fantastical machines – maybe something Dr. Seuss might have come up with if he ever had his way with the play. This comedy for all ages is full of rhyming words, funny bits and, of course, a surprise ending.
