Story: This story begins where Romeo and Juliet ends—and it’s told from the P.O.V. of the teens who knew them best. Benvolio, Romeo’s best friend, is in love with Rosaline, Juliet’s cousin. But Rosaline is still carrying a torch for Romeo—and she’s bent on revenge. The Teen Players, advanced students in SCR’s Theatre Conservatory, bring you intrigue, love and skillful swordplay in this Shakespeare-inspired sequel, performed in modern language.
