What a beautiful, moving production featuring some pretty amazing performers and artists. If you're looking for a very fresh take on a timeless story this festival season, do not miss this production. Using their hearts and souls, the ensemble brings us to a different kind of Verona than we're familiar with. The melding of ASL with spoken dialogue in the production is perfection. Don't miss this one. Just gorgeous.... full review

This was a spectacular show. If you have an interest in Deaf Theatre or Sign Language, this is an experience you should seek out. Even if you are unfamiliar with Sign, there are cast members who verbalize what the actors are signing.

I've seen a few ASL theater production in the past and it is quite a different experience to watch ASL for hearing people. Your brain kind of splits because you are watching and hearing a language and at the same time you are also watching the production, not just the sign language. This production started out a bit confusing to me because of my brain splitting in half, trying to read and hear the two languages at the same time as well as figuring out who is who (deaf actors had their speaking "shadows" and hearing actors were speaking english and signing at the same time). However, it didn't take too long to be sucked into the play and by the time the hour was over, I was emotionally exhausted and wanted to cry, I was so touched by the p... full review

As a professor of Shakespeare, I thought this was one of the best, most creative interpretations of Romeo and Juliet that I've had the pleasure of seeing. The nimble use of sign and voice together heightened the experience to an impressive level. Those who shy away from the deaf world should see this show: I never thought of ASL as poetic. That is my downfall and prejudice, both which now have been shattered. ... full review

Stephanie is my favorite actress and it was so great to see her so close up. The signing was amazing and so pure. Everything about it was amazing! I am a theatre and an ASL student in high school, so I loved it!... full review

Unfortunately I missed this last performance due to transportation problems. However my two friends were able to attend. They enjoyed and raved of the performance and ASL to myself and others at the post celebratory gathering. My Deaf friend, "'Make another one!' Is that's all I can say! It means people love their story with ASL!!" My hearing friend, "The signing was beautiful. I loved it." And she was excited to meet Stephanie from the TV series "Switched at Birth." From my two friends, they give the play an "amazing" rating. It pleases me they enjoyed the performance! Bravo Aly Easton!!... full review
