The Grand Haven based Pigeon Creek Shakespeare
Company will partner with the Frauenthal Center for the
Performing Arts to offer three daytime performances of
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet for regional high school
students on March 27, 28, and 29 at 10:00 a.m.. The
performances will take place in the Beardsley Theater at
the Frauenthal at 425 West Western Avenue in Muskegon.
The 2012 performances mark the third time that Pigeon
Creek and the Frauenthal have offered these performances
for students. In previous years high school students from
Muskegon, Ottawa, and Kent Counties have traveled to the
Beardsley Theater to see Pigeon Creek’s performances of
Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice. The 2012
performances of Romeo and Juliet are sponsored in part by
a grant from Target Stores. The performances will run 90
minutes and will be followed by a 20-minute talk-back with
the actors.
