\"Romeo<\/a><\/p>\n

UCCS senior visual and performing arts student Dan Boyd\u2019s modern remake on Shakespeare\u2019s classic love story \u201cRomeo and Juliet\u201d will close its two-week run Oct. 5-7 at the Ent Center for the Arts. Each of the remaining three performances will begin at 8 p.m. in the Osborne Studio Theater.<\/p>\n

Boyd is directing his first play after being involved in theatre for 18 years. For the UCCS Theatre Company, he previously served as stage manger for \u201cBlackademics\u201d and in the cast as Lord Arthur Goring in \u201cAn Ideal Husband\u201d and Herr Schultz in \u201cCabaret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boyd says that those familiar with the play will notice that Mercutio and Benvolio, normally played by males, will be played by females. The play is set in the modern time, but will continue to use the Shakespearian language and use swords as weapons. \u201cI like to call it modern with a touch of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets are available at tickets.uccspresents.org<\/a>, by phone at (719) 255-3232 or in person at the Ent Center Box Office. Prices are $6 for general admission and free for UCCS students.<\/p>\n
