1. Theater openings
Professional live theater is slowly returning after a year-long hiatus, and this weekend, we are spoiled for choice with three unique offerings.
The biggie is Cincinnati Shakespeare Company (1195 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine), which reopens its mainstage season Friday with “Romeo and Juliet,” William Shakespeare’s timeless tale of two star-crossed lovers and the feuding families who tear them apart. It stars Courtney Lucien as Juliet and Crystian Wiltshire as Romeo. The long-awaited reopening is being done with the utmost safety in mind, so come prepared with proof of full COVID-19 vaccination status or provide a negative test to enter the theater. Masks are also required. The play runs through Nov. 13. Tickets start at $14. cincyshakes.com.
