About the event
Step into a fictional Philly nightlife, where Club Capulet currently leads the scene thanks to the success of its star, the gender-bending draglesque performer, Juliette. Curious to see what the fuss is all about, performers from a rival club, Montague’s, sneak into a show at Club Capulet.
Montague’s star, Romeo, is expecting to have a drink, throw some shade, and maybe steal an idea or two… only to have his heart stolen instead…
If you’ve ever seen Shakespeare’s classic play, you know what (probably) comes next… but you’ve likely never experienced it like this!
Combining burlesque, drag arts, immersive theater, and some of Philly’s finest operatic performers, Prismatic Arts Ensemble is bringing a unique twist to Gounod’s famous operatic setting of Romeo and Juliet that you won't want to miss!
Sung in French with a new translation projected in English.
