Sports Richmond, VA

VCU Theatre’s production of William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet is an exploration of identity, archetype, and the navigation of internal desire in relation to the external expression of the self. In what ways do we elect to “perform” roles that are often out of alignment with our true inner selves? When the comedy of life turns tragic, how can we break from constricting societal expectations, cultural limitations, and inherited trauma to expand through perceived endless cycles and into undefined territory?  
  
In this production, the timeless tale and classic text are approached from a collective of unique perspectives that dare to confront both the structure of the story itself and the intentional framing of it. In the midst of overwhelming life circumstances, how can we empower ourselves to reclaim what was always ours to hold dear?  
  
Performances are October 1–4, 2026 at the W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts (922 Park Ave, Richmond, VA 23284).  
  
Tickets: $25. Tickets available here: bit.ly/vcutheatretix
