In our 2016 season, Artistic Director Jenna Tamisiea’s brilliantly unique take on 1876 French  Romeo and Juliet, set the traditional story in a war-torn and racially divided America began as she saw tensions of anti-immigration verbiage sweep through the political sphere. The end product was a gorgeously beautiful retelling of an opera showing that love can conquer all. Greenville News went as far to say that “Tamisiea’s bold, edgy production is vital and alive, a reminder, if we needed one, that great works of art have a lot to say about our current lives and conflicts”.
