This summer, Shakespeare on the Rocks brings a bold new vision of Romeo and Juliet to the shores of Rockaway Beach. Set against the sweeping backdrop of the ocean, this reimagined production blends magical realism with contemporary beach culture, infusing the timeless tale of star-crossed lovers with the vibrant energy of surf life and the deep cultural divisions of a modern-day Verona.

In this world, wetsuits clash with flashy boardwalk fashion, and ancient grudges find new expression in a house divided by more than just name. As the sun sets over the sea, passion ignites, loyalties are tested, and two young hearts strive to bridge the gap between their warring worlds—no matter the cost.

Join us under the open sky for an unforgettable evening of love, loss, and lyrical beauty.

Performances: August 21–24
Location: Rockaway Beach Amphitheater, NYC
