Description A modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, this tragic love story tells the tale of two young people whose happiness is destroyed by the hate of two enemy camps in New York City’s urban jungle. The Jets, sons of previous immigrants to America, battle the new arrivals from Puerto Rico, the Sharks, for domination of the streets.

Joey McKneely’s production of West Side Story is a reworking of the one that toured in 2010, with the same scaffolding-type tenement sets by Paul Gallis dominated by B&W images of New York City circa 1950s as a full stage backdrop.
