BREAKING THE SHAKESPEARE CODE live performance at Aiken Community Theatre in Aiken, SC in January 2026.
First-year student Anna arrives in her college rehearsal hall, hoping to get advice about landing the lead in a professional production of Romeo and Juliet. Once the intimidating acting instructor agrees to help, they embark on a series of lessons that become emotional duels, unexpected transformation, and scandal. When personal failures overwhelm their professional successes, they come together to move past a relationship built from Shakespeare’s words in order to save their work, their art, and themselves.
