Snorks and Piñs Presents ROMEO AND JULIET at NYC Community Gardens, Now thru 6/30

As one of Shakespeare’s most popularly performed plays, this beloved tale is the perfect fit for Snorks and Piñs Productions and New York Restoration Project’s community engagement program: Arts in the Gardens! Together, these two companies are transforming local community gardens into a stage. Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket and a picnic, and settle into these urban oases to enjoy Shakespeare’s finest poetry, bawdiest jokes, most thrilling fights and most poignant tragedy.
