Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “The Godfather” meets Shakespeare in PICT Classic Theatre’s “Romeo & Juliet.”
The era is the 1930s, in the Little Italy section of New York City, where warring families are a distinct possibility and, as in Victorian times, theater’s best-known young lovers are star-crossed and doomed.

I have seen an advertisement for this production on just about every social media and in many other places throughout the city. PICT has done a really successful job getting this show out there and my prediction is that they wanted to do so because of the change in venue. PICT also did something with their promotional materials that I’ve never seen from a theatre company. They used photos of the set in model space. This does inform me of what the set and show may look like, however it is not exactly a high resolution phot and it’s a tad overwhelming. Most shows you don’t get to see the whole picture before the show and I feel like I’m experiencing the exact opposite. I’ll be interested to see how successful this production is in the venue. PICT has been venue-hopping for a few seasons now and I’m assuming that is not exactly the desired way of presenting.
