Romeo & Juliet, Part 1- Shakespeare: Say It! Schindel Says

Romeo and Juliet, Part 1 – Shakespeare: Say It! brings Shakespeare’s epic love story to life. In this immersive show, audiences not only witness the story, but become part of it by delivering some of its iconic lines. Working with a projector and her made-to-measure version of the classic text, creator Dana Schindel (Day-na Shin-del) guides the audience through a collective telling of Romeo and Juliet, Part 1 (all the way up to that balcony scene!), and she’s saved the juiciest lines just for you.

No preparation is necessary, nor is any prior study of Shakespeare, though Shakespeare enthusiasts will get a thrill out of experiencing the story in this new format. Patrons with a fear of participation need not worry – the text has been combed for clarity, soloists are largely pre-arranged, and the audience often speaks as a collective, either with Schindel or responding (from the safety of your seats!) to her. Romeo and Juliet, Part 1 – Shakespeare: Say It! concludes its run of the Victoria Fringe Festival on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at the Philippine Bayanihan Community Centre with two shows running at 2 PM and 5 PM. “We’re going to have fun,” Schindel says, “We’re going to flirt and fight and fall in love.”
