​Shakespeare's Got Talent & #Hashtag Romeo

Let's start with #Hashtag Romeo: Could social media and smartphones have prevented a Shakespearean tragedy? In Jonathan Yukich's Hashtag Romeo, the Bard's classic tale is retold in a contemporary high school setting. Verona's two rival high schools, the Montagues and the Capulets, have an ancient grudge. The city's soccer championship was supposed to settle it, but an off-field altercation cancels the game. Romeo, Montague's star striker, falls for Juliet, the Capulet head cheerleader, sparking further conflict. Tempers flare, leading to a challenge from Ty. To bring peace, the star-crossed couple plans a social media protest, hoping love and Twitter can unite the warring sides.
​
Next Join us for a comical one-act TV talent show parody featuring Shakespearean characters. Hosted by Puck and joined by the Fool, the show includes a diverse panel of judges like Romeo, King Duncan, and Portia. Watch small-cast skits with characters from various Shakespearean plays, spiced up with humor. Behind the scenes, Macbeth and Macduff add to the chaos as stage manager and sound engineer. The show offers a comedic take on Shakespearean tragedies with pillow fights, rubber chicken duels, and a disco dance finale. With minimal sets, it introduces students to Shakespeare's characters in a silly and entertaining way.​
