Hamilton High School continues its 2025-2026 theatrical season by presenting The
Seussification of Romeo and Juliet, Peter Bloedal’s comical shake up of the infamous tale of two star-cross’d lovers.

Thursday and Friday, December 4 and 5 performances start at 7pm. On Saturday, December 6, a matinee performance will start at 2pm.
This whimsical play is a reinvention of Shakespeare’s tragic love story, complete with kid-friendly language, rhymed couplets, creative wordplay, and fantastical machines – similar to something Dr. Seuss might have created. The Narrators (Things) retell the classic storyline of Romeo and Juliet, children of feuding families who fall in love, however, there will be some special surprises in the plot.

In the style of Dr. Seuss, there is a lesson behind the play for all to learn: judge people by their behavior rather than what they wear on their bellies. This family friendly show will provide a light-hearted night full of laughter sure to delight audiences both young and old.

The performances will be set in a three-quarter, up-close-and-personal theatre provides an
intimate theatrical experience for both cast and audience – one that is very Dr. Seuss-ish and all too appropriate for a show of this nature. Therefore, the seating is limited. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this entertaining night of theatre!

The cast of 15 features Emery Andrews, Alyssa Bittner, Sophie DeWeerd, Greyson DeWys,
Catie Dykstra, Jadyn Fynewever, Zoe Heneveld, Annika Johnson, Gus Johnson, Emma Lamar,
Alice Soares, Keziah Tucker, Miah VanOs, Broden Van Wieren, and Micah Zoet.
