Arvada Center’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’ brings the feud up close - Onstage Colorado Review by Toni Tresca, 2/17/2026
“Running roughly 110 minutes without intermission, this eight-actor adaptation strips the play down to its emotional essentials.”

“Kate Bashore’s lighting [similarly] delineates mood through bold color contrasts that keep the playing space visually dynamic.”
Review: Romeo & Juliet - Curtain Up! Review by Eric Fitzgerald, 2/16/2026
“Lighting, designed by Kate Bashore, meanwhile, was atmospheric and subtly sculptural, shaping mood and space without calling attention to itself. Overall, the design team created a world that supported the production’s pacing while adding enough texture to keep it grounded.”
