AUDITIONS: JULIET AND HER ROMEO — A PUNK ROCK TRAGEDYProduced by Pembroke Players
Bringing classic stories to contemporary audiences
Production Team:
Director- Cody McCoy
Choreographer- Jen Alden
Assistant Director- Erika Reider
Lighting Designer: Mallory Lindsay
About the Show:
Love is rebellion. Violence is routine. Verona bleeds neon.
Pembroke Players rips open Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy and throws it into the raw, electric world of the 1990s/Early 2000s punk scene.
Addiction. Abuse. Guitars.
This Romeo + Juliet pulses with the chaos of youth, the hunger for escape, and the desperate beauty of first love on the edge.
Set to a soundtrack blending 90s and early 2000s punk anthems with Prokofiev’s haunting ballet score, this isn’t classroom Shakespeare—it’s loud, gritty, and heartbreakingly human.

Mercutio — Still in love with Romeo. Loud, magnetic, and dangerous.
Friar Laurence — Dealer to the rich; philosophical, clean-cut, and complicit.
The Apothecary — Street dealer; dirty, desperate, and deadly.
Lord & Lady Capulet — Manipulative and emotionally abusive, locked in a toxic cycle of power and control.
Lord & Lady Montague — Physically and emotionally abusive; denial and violence rule their home.
Benvolio — Innocent, caught between love and loyalty.
Plus a chorus of punks, addicts, ghosts, and dreamers—each one trying to survive the wreckage.
The World:
Graffiti. Smoke. Neon halos.
This isn’t a love story—it’s survival with a pulse.
