Episode 24-0315: R&J: CHOOSE YOUR OWN ENDING at Gallery Theater and LITTLE WOMEN at Struts & Frets Theatre Company

(00:00) Intro and the KMUZ Theatre Talk Calendar (08:39) What if Romeo had stayed helplessly in love with Rosaline instead of Juliet? Or if Mercutio and Tybalt hadn't died — but got together instead? In “Romeo & Juliet: Choose Your Own Ending” at Gallery Theater March 22-April 7, the audience votes on which course true love takes in this irreverent, madcap reimagining of Shakespeare's beloved romance. Ann and Ed interview director John Hamilton and actors Olivia Claudell and Sara Wright. (19:27) Struts & Frets Theatre Company presents “Little Women” March 28-30 at the Dallas Event Center. It’s a new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel by prolific playwright Kate Hamill and directed by Terry Kitagawa.
