I have the opportunity to be a part of an original musical written by a talented UWGB professor this summer. I get to work with some of the finest talent in the area. This unforgettable show will make you laugh and cry. And I get to be on stage again....and with some people I love very much which makes it even more special. Check out the musical. You won't be disappointed!!
The musical comedy Searching for Romeo is an original play by UW-Green Bay faculty member Brian Sutton. The play re-imagines the Romeo and Juliet story from the perspective of the story’s “losers.” That is, the central characters in Searching for Romeo are Rosaline and Paris, two minor characters in Shakespeare’s play who are rejected by Romeo and Juliet, respectively. By shifting the focus to the rejected pair, Searching for Romeo questions our society’s image of Romeo and Juliet as ideal romantic lovers. And the experience of Rosaline and Paris is adly true for many of us: the sense that they’re minor characters in some grander story, that there’s a world of passion and romance out there but somehow reserved for other people. Rosaline and Paris can identify with the words of the old Gershwin song: “They’re writing songs of love, but not for me.” But being the leads in a romantic comedy, Rosaline and Paris achieve something that eludes Romeo and Juliet: a happy ending.
Performances will be performed at the Jean Weidner Theatre July 12-14, 2012 at 7:00 PM. The tickets for Searching for Romeo are general admission.
