The Romeo & Juliet Project brings together a company of 27 socially-distanced artists: CYS students and alumni alongside some seriously bad-ass professional actors for a one-hour virtual reading of Shakespeare’s most famous love story.
Check out the latest bard blog for a socially-distanced interview with actor and friend, Peter Jacobson (aka Friar Laurence)!
This project was partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
The COVID-19 pandemic has put an indefinite pause on our regular programming and productions, and the world of live performing arts in general. During these uncertain times, CYS has been working hard to keep our community engaged and connected through virtual opportunities. We seriously can't wait to be back "in the room" together again. Until then....

Expect to see blasts from CYS's past, facts and trivia about the Bard himself, links to watch Shakespeare performances online, and much more! #SpeakTheSpeech Inspired by Sir Patrick Stewart's #ASonnetADay project, we'll be posting videos throughout the month of April featuring current CYS students, alumni, and friends reading some of their favorite Shakespeare monologues!
