Romeo and Juliet presented by Midsommer Flight at Various Locations

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Among the younger set, Haven A.J. Crawley’s Mercutio is fiery and heartbreaking, and Génesis Sánchez’s Benvolio provides a good-hearted voice of reason. Simple musical accompaniment (score by Jack Morsovillo) features snare drum and guitar, which added aural resonance. Despite some of the challenges of the natural and urban surroundings, Midsommer Flight’s Romeo and Juliet is a lovely (and free!) opportunity to see a familiar story in sturdy hands."

Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended

"...Is there anything as lovely as theater in the park on a warm summer evening? That's the concept behind Midsommer Flight's annual summer series of Shakespeare in the park. This summer, they are performing Romeo and Juliet in six city parks on the north and south sides. We spent Friday evening in Lincoln Park to see Romeo and Juliet, skillfully directed by Beth Wolf. Ebby Offord and Faiz Siddique play the lovers, who meet cute, fall in love at first sight, and decide to marry immediately to avoid the animosity of their warring families, the Capulets and the Montagues."
