SETTING THE STAGE. SHS’ first spring musical, R+J, debuted on Friday, April 9 in the back fields of Blue Ash Elementary. A modern spin on WIlliam Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” this rendition featured snippets of dialogue from the original play mixed with 21st century language, making it a perfect blend for audience members who preferred the original and young high schoolers who preferred more understandable language. The lighting crew utilized a different color on each side to represent the Capulets and Montagues: blue for Juleit’s family, and red for Romeo’s.
