Romeo and Juliet at A Noise Within

Sunday, March 25, my English 235 Shakespeare class and I took a big white van down south to Glendale to see Romeo and Juliet at A Noise Within. For many of my students, this was a first time experience with live Shakespeare (for some, live drama altogether), and so this was a particularly special event.


A Noise Within is located in an old converted Masonic Temple Building in downtown Glendale and is the only theater company in Southern California working in the repertory tradition. The company produces six plays annually and has won numerous awards including twenty-five (yes, twenty-five!) Los Angeles Drama Critics’ Circle awards. Not surprisingly, their production of Romeo and Juliet, lived up to their pedigree.

Please check back here in the near future for student reviews of the performance.

Awesome slideshow G.S., great job. I just have to say that seeing Shakespeare performed live by great actors ranks right up there with attending an Insane Clown Posse concert in my book: well--almost. Really though, it was a blast; and to anyone who has yet to have a good theater experience--go see a production at A Noise Within.
