WHY ROMEO & JULIET?

Romeo & Juliet is a tale of love's triumph over violence and fear; Shakespeare distills this down to its archetypal essence. Kind of a big deal, right? 

OK COOL BUT WAIT WHO ARE YOU?

We are a motley band of professional actors eager to make really killer theatre. For free. For you. 

What We're Raising and Why 

• $10,000 to pay all 16 artists on the team. Not a luxurious sum, but a very modest compensation for their time. Because we all have rent to pay and mouths to feed. And because artists work so flipping hard.
• This is a free offering to the public! We are asking for gifts from those who can give, so that everyone can come to the theatre, regardless of income. 
• Anything raised over the goal will be split with the Oakland Omni Commons.
• And hey! March 27th and 28th are benefit performances for the Omni: any donations received at that performance will be give to the Omni so they can keep the lights on and the doors open for all of Oakland.

No Cash? That's OK!

• Spread the word! Share Share Share.
• COME SEE THE PLAY! Bring a friend, bring ten friends! Bring your grandmother and her dog. Bring your neighbor and that guy you met at the laundromat. Come. Celebrate. Enjoy.
