The play will be performed Thursdays and Fridays at 7 PM, Saturdays at 1 PM and 5 PM, and Sundays at 3 PM.

This
production brings this classic play to life on stage for teens to better understand and appreciate the writing of William Shakespeare. After all Shakespeare’s works were meant to be performed and not just read.

Adapted especially for middle and high school students and one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, Romeo and Juliet is the story of an age-old vendetta between two powerful families (the Montagues and the Capulets) that erupts into bloodshed. A group of masked Montagues risk further conflict by gatecrashing a Capulet party. A young lovesick Romeo Montague falls instantly in love with Juliet Capulet, who is due to marry her father’s choice, the County Paris. With the help of Juliet’s nurse, the women arrange for the couple to marry the next day, but Romeo’s attempt to halt a street fight leads to the death of Juliet’s own cousin, Tybalt, for which Romeo is banished.

The play is performed by twenty seven talented young actors from ages 10 to 17.

This show is directed by KCT Artistic Director Steve Sherman with student Assistant Director, Ava Bradshaw.

KCT is East Tennessee’s leading producer of plays for children and families.

The Clarence Brown Theatre will open its 2022/2023 Season with Agatha Christie’s masterpiece, “Murder on the Orient Express,” running on the MainStage September 14th to October 2nd.

Tickets may be purchased by calling the Box Office at 865-974-5161 or online at https://clarencebrowntheatre.com/plays/murder-on-the-orient-express/. UT Faculty/Staff receive 15% off ticket prices. Students see the previews for FREE, the rest of the performances for $5, and Opening Night for $10.

The production contains all the glamour, intrigue, and suspense of Christie’s novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of year, but by morning there is one less passenger. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed numerous times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – before he or she can strike again.
