About the Show
July 29 - Sept. 10, 2023
Mixed Precipitation celebrates 15 years of outdoor summer fun, performing one of the most beloved and famous tragedies in the theatre tradition, Romeo and Juliet, adapted from Vincenzo Bellini’s 1830 opera, I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues). Featuring the music of Fleetwood Mac, The Fugees, and the Pixies: star-crossed bands whose passionate romance and feuds play out in their music.
This adaptation of the beloved tragedy promises laughter, gorgeous bel canto melodies, and calamitous romance. Mixed Precipitation's performances are fun for ALL AGES. ALL ARE WELCOME, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Performances will be given throughout the metro area, the North Shore, Iron Range, and southeastern Minnesota. This audio described show on Thursday, August 3 at 7:00 pm will be at Bronx Park Community Garden, 2500 Georgia Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN.
For this 15th summer production, Mixed Precipitation welcomes new artists to our team: staging director Tara Moses and multi-hyphenated theater artist and playwright Denzel Belin.
