ROMEO AND JULIET by William Shakespeare
The first production of our Mainstage season is an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, an exciting co-production with Theatre NDSU. The production opens at NDSU’s Walsh Theatre before transferring to Theatre B. The star-crossed lovers of the title must be among the best-known dramatic characters who bridge relationship divisions as they fall in love with one another despite the generations-old feud between their families. The script for our production is trimmed down and refined to tell this classic story with tighter focus, more momentum and a contemporary sensibility–or as I like to call, it’s Shakespeare with a sharpened edge.
– Jon Micheels Leiseth, Theatre B Artistic Director
Performances:
Week 1 NDSU: Walsh Theatre October 16, 17, 18
Week 2 Theatre B: October 24, 25 & 26 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday);
Sunday Matinee and ASL Performance : October 26th at Theatre B
Week 3 Theatre B: October 29, 30, 31, November 1 (Wednesday – Saturday);
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet gets trimmed and sharpened in this fresh adaptation from Theatre B’s Artistic Director, Jon Micheels Leiseth. Set in an imagined world that fuses the styles from the Italian Renaissance and 1940’s Italy, this fresh new take is full of momentum, quirkiness, movement, and music that are thoroughly modern. In the midst of this sumptuous danger, the ‘star-crossed lovers’ attempt to bridge the boundaries that the authority and family have set to keep them apart.
True enough to the original for the fans of the bard, crisp and clear enough for the easily bored, with twists to intrigue the familiar. Join us to experience this exciting collaboration between Theatre B and Theatre NDSU!
Celebrate the co-production by attending performances at NDSU!

FRIDAYS IN SEPTEMBER: Robert Palomeque & Students in Percussion Concert
Friday, September 26 at 7:30 PM (Doors at 7:00 PM)
The next event in Theatre B’s new Fridays in September series brings the rich, joyful sound of the marimba to our stage. Join Dr. Robert Palomeque and Concordia College percussion students Andrew Kocher and Samuel Deneen for an evening that’s as engaging as it is enchanting.
The marimba—sometimes called the “voice of the rainforest”—is a percussion instrument unlike any other. Its deep resonance and shimmering tones can carry a melody with warmth and rhythm, telling stories that connect cultures across the globe. Throughout the evening, Dr. Palomeque and students will share the marimba’s history, cultural traditions, and repertoire, bringing their artistry to vibrant solo and ensemble performances.
Discover why the marimba is both powerful and playful, and experience the joy of music-making that celebrates rhythm, culture, and community.
FRIDAYS IN SEPTEMBER (and a couple in October)!
For the third event in Theatre B’s Fridays in September series, we invite you to a one-of-a-kind comedy experience: STANDUP TAKES A SEAT.
Friday, October 3 at 7:30 PM (Doors at 7:00 PM)
Led by local comedy favorite Jenni Lou Russi, this night turns the traditional standup show on its head. Instead of standing at the mic, comics “take a seat” and lean into raw storytelling, fresh improvisation, and quick-witted audience connection. The result? Comedy that’s intimate, unpredictable, and completely in the moment.
And because we love a good challenge, the comics will take on AI itself in the ultimate showdown: proving that natural intelligence is funnier than artificial intelligence.
Expect to see:
Raw and unfiltered stories that only real life could write
Fresh, on-the-spot material pulled straight from the night’s energy
The AI Challenge—because a punchline is always better when it comes from a human.
Laughter, quick wit, and a daring new twist on standup—all in one night. Grab your seat and join us for a comedy show unlike any other.
