This weekend is your last chance to catch Romeo & Zooliet, the St. Louis Shakespeare Festival’s family-friendly comedy featuring animal puppets, laughs galore and prairie dog Romeo falling for grizzly bear Juliet. My six-year-old loved it, but not as much as I did, so it really is for all ages.
Neighborhood stalwart Andy Cross painted the entire set, continuing his many years of behind-the-scenes work on the festival’s Forest Park productions.
The 80-minute show is on tonight at 6:30 p.m. Tomorrow’s performance is sold out but tickets are available for Saturday (2 and 6:30 p.m.) and Sunday (noon and 4 p.m.). There’s plenty of free seating, with reserved seats starting at $20.
