Mixed Precipitation celebrates 15 years of outdoor summer fun, performing one of the most beloved and famous tragedies in the theatre tradition, Romeo and Juliet, adapted from Vincenzo Bellini’s 1830 opera, I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues).
Juliet and Romeo are online strivers in a time of global strife. She’s lifting up others through her social media career—teaching survival skills, sharing recipes and DIY crafts. Romeo is documenting his van-life travels, inspiring millions to live life to the fullest, even in the darkest times. These two social media sensations are tired of depending on clicks and likes to survive. So they’re teaming up for a cross-country elopement and honeymoon. But larger forces plan to disrupt their destiny.
This adaptation of the beloved tragedy promises laughter, gorgeous bel canto melodies, and calamitous romance. Continuing Mixed Precipitation’s tradition of musical ingenuity, this production also features the music of Fleetwood Mac, the Fugees, and the Pixies—star-crossed bands whose passionate romance and feuds play out in their music.

The suggested donation is $5-$45 per person – reservations appreciated at www.mixedprecipitation.org. The event is free for Kids under 12.
