Passion. Romance. Violence. Vengeance. Death. Love.

Gather under the stars on a summer evening for a tale of dangerous rivalries and star-crossed lovers in an open air performance of Shakespeare's most thrilling play 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Presented by Humber River Shakespeare Co., 'Romeo and Juliet' tells the story of two young lovers who risk everything to be together, defying their warring families and shocking their closest friends. In the midst of a bloody feud, fragile first-love unfolds.

Relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Village at twilight as the drama unfolds. Black Creek provides the picturesque backdrop for Verona in this exciting performance. With breathtaking love scenes, riotous comedy, thrilling fights and the most heartbreaking sacrifice of young life, this performance will inspire, move and enthuse audiences of all ages.

Try a 'half-pint' of history and drink the beer Romeo enjoyed! Before the show, enjoy a heritage-inspired beer while relaxing in Black Creek's outdoor Pavilion. Bar opens at 6:30 p.m. and during intermission.
