Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare

Julius Caesar is the most popular general in Rome - and the Senate is nervous. Before long, Caesar falls victim to an infamous assassination plot, leaving two men - the honourable Brutus and the ambitious Cassius - to divide the spoils. But they've reckoned without Mark Antony, Caesar's devoted follower and determined successor, and soon the republic all have sought to preserve is brought to the brink of anarchy.

Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Explosive dance numbers and a brilliant musical score ignite this modern-day retelling of Romeo and Julliet, presented for the first time on the Festival Theatre stage. Two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, wage a turf war in the mean streets of New York City. But when Tony, best friend of Jets leader Riff, falls in love with Maria, sister to Sharks leader Bernardo, simmering tensions escalate to a shocking finale.

Single and Sexy

Written and performed by University of Waterloo students and alumnae, Single & Sexy is billed as the "Highlight of Orientation Week" replacing the traditional Frosh lecture with a high energy, entertaining, non-judgmental, powerful presentation of scenarios and attitudes Frosh are likely to witness or experience.
Single & Sexy is attended and recommended by staff, faculty, upper year students and many community based agencies and has been applauded as a model peer education program.
What people are saying about Single & Sexy...
