Romeo & Juliet
November 14 · 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EST
The Mendel Center Mainstage at Jenkins Theater · 2755 E. Napier Ave, Benton Harbor, MI 49022
Shakespeare’s most famous love story erupts in this bold reimagining of Romeo & Juliet, where a fractured post-civil war America becomes the backdrop for passion across enemy lines. In Benton Harbor’s theatre & dance scene, the Lake Michigan College Theater Program stages this gritty production at The Mendel Center Mainstage, transforming Verona into a divided border town where class warfare replaces family feud. Raw staging, indie and punk-infused soundscapes, and visceral fight choreography explore what happens when hate becomes normalized and love becomes rebellion. Parental guidance suggested for fight scenes and strobe effects.
