ROMEO y JULIETA
JUNIO 2023, DIRIGIDO POR ÁNGEL NUÑEZ
“De sueños voy hablar,
fantasmas de la imaginacion dormida,
que en su vuelo excede la ligereza de los aires,
y es más mudable que el viento.”
Esta producción será parte de nuestro Shakespeare bilingüe en el parque, financiado por Cultural Alliance of York County and Downtown, Inc.
Esta historia de falta de comunicación y vendettas convertida en la mejor historia de amor de todos los tiempos sigue siendo una de las obras más populares y conocidas de Shakespeare. Para la cuarta producción de la obra de OrangeMite, la representaremos predominantemente en español, lo que permitirá que un nuevo espíritu de lirismo cante por primera vez en un escenario en el centro de Pensilvania.

This cautionary tale of miscommunication and vendettas turned greatest love story of all time remains one of Shakespeare’s most popular and well-known works. For OrangeMite’s fourth production of the play, we’ll perform it predominantly in Spanish, enabling a new spirit of lyricism to sing for the first time on a stage in central Pennsylvania.
ROMEO and JULIET
MAY 2014, DIRECTED BY MEGAN KITZMILLER
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.”
The son of Lord Montague and the daughter of Lord Capulet, two families consumed with hatred for each other, fall madly in love. In the most famous love story of all time, Shakespeare asks age old questions, and shows us one price for peace.
ROMEO AND JULIET - JULY 2016, DIRECTED BY WILLIAM WOLFGANG and MEGAN KITZMILLER
Sixteen young actors staged this production after participating in the Dover Youth Shakespeare Academy in June 2016.
Director's Notes
After our 2015 summer camp and the excellent performances of our production of Henry V, Megan and I agreed that the kids could handle even more Shakespeare. The production you will see tonight is double the length of what many of these talented youths performed last year at this time.
Every time we raise the bar, this group of students blows us away by leaping over it. This group memorized massive monologues in a day, executed challenging fight choreography, learned dances while saying lines, and formed personal goals. These students achieved all of this before our eyes; it is safe to say this production has been an enriching experience. Megan and I are incredibly proud of their work, and we know you will be too.
This performance marks OrangeMite’s third production of Romeo and Juliet, but we’ve never done it like this. The emotion and understanding the young actors bring to these characters and the age-old feud between the two families illuminate Shakespeare’s work in a way I personally haven’t experienced before. I congratulate them on their tremendous dedication to this project.

“If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.”
