Watch the Aquila Theatre as they bring Romeo & Juliet and Canterbury Tales alive on stage!

Chico Performances presents the Aquila Theatre Company in Romeo & Juliet and Canterbury Tales in Laxson Auditorium at CSU, Chico.

Romeo & Juliet performance: Sunday, March 25, 2007 at 2pm
Set in the vibrant city of Verona, Shakespeare’s famous star-crossed teenage lovers follow their passion for each other in this ultimately tragic but beautiful story of eternal love.

Canterbury Tales performance: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 at 7:30pm
The Canterbury Tales is rightly considered one of the corner stones of both western literature and drama, and its rich tradition of classical Greek and Roman poetry and Medieval literature is brought to life by the actors of the Aquila Theatre Company in a story that is poignant, hilarious, spiritually uplifting, wonderfully lewd, yet thoroughly thought provoking.

COST/TICKETS: Premium $23, Adult $18, Senior $16, Student/Child $14
SPECIAL COMBO TICKET: One premium ticket to both Romeo & Juliet and Canterbury Tales: $40
Tickets available at the University Box Office, 898-6333, 2nd & Normal Streets
