& JULIET - Opens Thursday for four performances! Free, Live and on the Web at Zoom Theatre

& JULIET — When power, race and jealousy collide, rivalries can become vicious …. Performances May 13 – May 16. Reserve your free ticket now at https://zoomtheatre.com/index.php/shows/juliet

When Charlie Vaughn – a White Broadway director trying to escape rumors about his last production – comes to a small conservative college campus to stage a production of Romeo & Juliet, he announces he will cast a fourteen year-old boy in the role of Juliet. This challenges the “old school” sensibilities of the campus community and upsets the expectations of Annie Rice, an ambitious, young Black actress who feels she deserves the role. Turning to his new colleague Dr. Hughes – a thirty-year veteran of the drama department – for advice, Vaughn discovers that Annie might not be the only one out to bring an end to his career.

Join Zoom Theatre for a free webinar and an update on the lessons we’ve learned mounting nine live plays and two special events in less that a year during the pandemic. Open to theater makers of all types, we’ll share our mistakes and the tips and tricks that had audience members saying "You are doing things I didn’t know were possible!”

Our original webinar, WHAT WE'VE LEARNED SO FAR, has been viewed over 6,000 times since it was posted last June. Since then we've kept moving the bar, experimenting with new techniques and technology with every production.

Intended for theater-makers of all types, you'll learn about the process, equipment, software and details that make Zoom Theatre possible. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get feedback.

SENSITIVE GUYS opens tonight for four performances only! A comedy about toxic masculinity and the difference between saying you’ll do better...and actually doing better. Performing April 1, 2, 3, and 4. Live, free and on the web. Free ticket registration and more information at https://zoomtheatre.com/index.php/shows/sensitive-guys.

Be advised: This play is a comedy that discusses r**e culture, as well as issues and incidents of sexual assault.

Is it enough just to be “working on your sh*t?” In SENSITIVE GUYS at Zoom Theatre, five female and non-binary performers inhabit both male and female roles in this comic social satire about complicity, masculinity and violence in America. In the safe spaces of a small liberal arts college, the student-led Men’s Peer Education Group and women’s Survivor Support Group work together on an ambitious plan to eradicate all sexual violence everywhere in just five years. They've got it all together -- until an incident throws their ideals into question. Can even sensitive guys be violent and aggressive?
