'Romeo and Juliet - On The Move"
















As some of you know, I photograph the performances for the Regent University Theater program. Over the weekend I shot a most unusual production of Romeo and Juliet. This was performed 'promenade style', meaning that the audience followed the action around during the show. They had no scenery or special lighting and only limited props. The costumes progressively became more modern throughout the night, while keeping the dialogue true to William Shakespeare's original script.

During the night we were ushered outside to the plaza (shown here), main lobby, the main theater, black-box theater, on stage and occasionally the audience was lined up in the hallways while the actors spoke lines in our midst. Overall it was a uniquely, fantastic night.

Bravo!
