ABOUT

AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING

Fresh off of a presented season with UtahPresents, we are ready to take Verona to you. This is a very low tech outdoor portable event. All we need is your sponsorship and a large open space such as a parking lot, field, cul de sac, etc, and we will transform it into Fair Verona. Available to arts presenters, corporations, and private individuals. Consider Through Yonder Window for your next presented season, community event, corporate gathering, or private event.

A REIMAGINING OF ROMEO AND JULIET

Stories of forbidden love, revenge, and redemption play out all around you, through every character; not just the star crossed lovers. Fall in love with the Friar, the Nurse, Tybalt, Mercutio, Lord Montague, Lady Capulet, Romeo, and Juliet.

DRIVE-IN THEATRE

Cars are guided into spots that surround the performance area. The original soundtrack is accessed through your radio. Bring your kids, pets, dinner, snacks; you are in an extension of your home while experiencing live theatre.

IMMERSIVE

You feel part of the action as Montagues and Capulets move all around you including next to, behind, and in very close proximity. Depending on where your vehicle is placed within Verona, and which directions you choose to look, different stories become more prominent.

COVID-SAFE

The show is adaptable to any CDC restrictions

POP-UP

Through Yonder Window is as a portable offering. All we need is your sponsorship and a large space that cars can park around and we will transform it into Fair Verona for an unforgettable evening you and your audiences will be talking about for years.
