Shakespeare Royal Oak is proud to announce auditions for our 2022 Season in Royal Oak’s Starr Jaycee Park. Now in our 22nd year, Michigan’s largest annual outdoor professional theatre festival will feature Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet July 28 – August 7.
In this professional outdoor production, Romeo and Juliet are survivors of climate crisis and war. Where there once was government, warring factions fight for control of Verona. Yet in this bleak world Juliet discovers love, and dreams of a better life with Romeo. Together they defy the stars; daring to love – and creating beauty in a world where none was promised.
This timely take and professional production will be directed by Stephanie Buck with combat design by Michael Brian Ogden. Auditions are March 26 & 27 at St. John Episcopal Church in Royal Oak located at 26998 Woodward, Royal Oak MI 48067. Registration is required. Actors interested in auditioning should visit shakespeareroyaloak.com to learn more about what is required and register for an audition.
We are so excited for our 2022 season! We look forward to seeing you in the park!
And this is why we needed that big truck!

“As Allison Hill, chief executive of the American Booksellers Association, stated, “As the pandemic subsides and we return to the social spaces that bring us together, we will decide whether we want to be commoditized or recognized as individuals. Independent businesses all across the country add diversity, character and humanity to our communities and they need our support.”

Opinion | I’m a bookseller. Here’s the difference between Jeff Bezos and me. It's no surprise to me that Amazon is closing its physical bookstores.
