Cleo Parker Robinson Dance performs the Shakespearean classic.
In this "Romeo and Juliet," religion further divides the Capulet and the Montague families. Juliet has been raised in a family that honors Yoruba traditions, with roots in West Africa, and Romeo comes from a devout Catholic family. It's set in New Orleans and is on at the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theatre in Denver April 28 through May 7.
