SUMMIT, NJ — Teens have had it tough in the past year, but now they can put their pain into their performances when the Summit High School Theatre Arts Department presents William Shakespeare’s tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" in the Summit High School Auditorium next month.

A virtual performance has not been scheduled as of now, but the live version will take place Nov. 11, 12, and 13 at 7:30 p.m. each night.

In the classic tale of star-crossed lovers, Verona’s Montague and Capulet families have been feuding for ages. But when Romeo Montague glimpses Juliet Capulet, he can't look away.
