Artistic director Joanna Settle will stage the free production that will run June 26-July 8 in Greenwich, CT, and July 18-July 29 in Rowayton, CT.

Passing Strange Tony winner Stew and collaborator Rodewald will pen music and lyrics. Stew has also been commissioned to author two new scenes for the dinner party, which he will write and develop with the cast. The team previously worked on the Shakespeare on the Sound productions of Othello and As You Like It. Stew created the music for A Midsummer Night's Dream.

"We are conceiving Romeo and Juliet as a dinner party among eight friends who have an annual tradition of reading a Shakespeare play on a gorgeous summer’s night. Over the course of reading the play, the story will take over and our guests both on-stage and off will find themselves completely consumed over by the momentum and poetry of the events in Shakespeare's classic romance."

The production will have set design by Andrew Lieberman, costume design by Tilly Grimes, lighting design by Keith Parham, sound system design by Jessica Paz, sound design by Obadiah Eaves and choreography by David Neumann.
