Romeo and Juliet
Runs through September 26, 2026
Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum resets William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in New York City during the tumultuous Gilded Age, a period marked by stark social inequality and rampant industrialization. Through this lens, the famous love story becomes not just a tragedy, but a powerful warning about the costs of division, hatred and fear and the importance of compassion and human connection. There’s no better way to experience Shakespeare than by spending a summer afternoon or evening at Theatricum's spectacular outdoor amphitheater, carved into a rustic hillside in Topanga. Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum, 1419 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd., Topanga. (310) 455-3723 www.theatricum.com

Set during a single, sweltering afternoon in 1927, “Mother of the Blues” Ma Rainey fights to retain control of her music even as her ambitious trumpeter, Levee, reaches for opportunity in a world determined to hold him back. Against a backdrop of racism and inequity, Wilson’s searing drama illuminates the struggle to claim dignity, voice, and self-worth. A Noise Within, 3352 E Foothill Blvd., Pasadena.

As Bette Davis famously noted, “Growing old ain’t for sissies.” Will Geer Theatricum Botanicumpresents Waiting in the Wings, a vibrant, funny, deeply humane comedy by Noël Coward that reminds us that a life well-lived is measured not by applause, but by connection.
