Based on the hysterical book by local author Suzanne Selfors, this production follows Mimi Wallingford, Great Granddaughter of Adelaide Wallingford, living the life that most girls dream about, playing Juliet opposite teen heartthrob Troy Summer on Broadway in Shakespeare’s famous play. Unfortunately, she has no desire to be an actress, a fact her mother can’t seem to grasp. But when she and Troy are magically thrust into Shakespeare’s Verona, they experience the feud between the Capulets and Montagues first hand. Mimi realizes that she and Juliet have more in common than Shakespeare’s script—they are both fighting for futures of their own choosing. Mimi feels compelled to “save Juliet,” and with Troy’s unexpected help, she hopes to give Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy a happily-ever-after-ending. Readers say Selfors’ book offers “good fun,” and “a cool new twist on Romeo and Juliet.”
