Our First Production - A Hit with Audiences and Critics!

• "This evening we had the joy of seeing the fantastic inaugural production of Theater 2020: Visions for a New Millennium, an innovative, swiftly-paced performance of Romeo and Juliet, from the steps of the Granite Prospect of Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 1 . . . with New York Harbor, the skyline of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty serving as backdrop."
  
  "It was a memorable show with first-rate acting and wonderful use of puppetry, a thrilling debut for the Brooklyn Heights professional theater company and its producing artistic directors, the married team of Judith Jarosz (choreographer here) and David Fuller (director/fight director for this production)."

• "The inaugural production of this Brooklyn company is an updated Romeo and Juliet with a Hindu Romeo falling for a Muslim Juliet. Free performances in Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo are part of the Bard on Pier 1 program. 'Good theater benefits all theater,' said Judith Jarosz, a producing artistic director (with David Fuller) of Theater 2020."

  At St. Charles Borromeo Church:
  
  
• "Theatergoers who want to see a Shakespeare play this summer without burning a hole in their wallet might try Theater 2020's Romeo and Juliet. The production is highly original in its cross-cultural setting and retooling of its protagonists as a Muslim and a Hindu."
  
  "Fuller takes a commanding hold of the play."
  
  'This compact production has real power and verve."
  
  "The fighting scenes (fight direction also by David Fuller) are executed both in the altar area and in the center aisle, a hair's breadth from the audience. The Act 5 sword duel between Romeo and Paris in particular, is quite breath-taking."
  
  "This is the inaugural production of Theater 2020, which touts itself as the first professional theater company in Brooklyn Heights. And based on their first theatrical effort, the company is worth watching."

• "Clearly the RSC shows are the snob event of the season. But for those who love the Bard and don't want to burn a hole in their wallets, Deirdre Donovan, our intrepid explorer of all things Shakespeare recommends a subway ride to Brooklyn heights to take in Theater 2020's FREE Romeo and Juliet."

• Theater 2020, a new Brooklyn Heights-based company, puts a new twist on Shakespeare's enduring love story with a Hindu Romeo and Muslim Juliet in its production of Romeo and Juliet.
