Area Students Perform Shakespeare … with a Twist

You've never heard Shakespeare like this before.

On April 12 and 13, the student actors of Heart and Home Theater will perform "Where Art Thou, Romeo?" – a comical farce on all things Shakespeare – at the First Evangelical Free Church in Boone.

Director and local playwright Drew Zahn says even for theatergoers who have never understood William Shakespeare's Old English, his "thee," "thou" and "methinks," the fun of "Where Art Thou, Romeo?" lies in lampooning the timeless words.

"Whether you're a Shakespeare buff or find his words indecipherable, this play is all about spoofing his fantastic characters in a fresh and comical way," Zahn said.

"You don't have to know Hamlet from Macbeth from a hole in the ground," he continued, "because apparently, neither do we! Shakespeare will be rolling over in his grave, but you'll be rolling over with laughter."

"Where Art Thou, Romeo?" marks the ninth production of Heart and Home Theater, a troupe of roughly 30 area homeschooled students who in years past have performed parodies of the Bible, children's books and even Broadway musicals.

This marks the second time the troupe will perform "Where Art Thou, Romeo?" but actors tell the News-Republican there's a host of new twists and turns in this year's performance that will delight even those who saw its debut performance five years ago.

Actor James Arentson, who plays the Ghost of Romeo (a parody of the Hamlet's ghost character), hints that even the director doesn't know everything that's in store when the curtain goes up.  

There's no cost for admission, only donations accepted to fund future theater productions, and tickets are available at the door.

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. opening night, April 12, and both 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, at the First Evangelical Free Church, 1407 Kate Shelley Drive, in Boone.
