In Romeo and Juliet, two teenagers lose their lives through the entrenched viewpoints of their warring families. How can the next generation rise above what’s come before and carve their own path to forge a brighter future for themselves? This panel session will include representatives from the field and high school/college age students discussing topics around civic participation, mental health and anxiety, and what it means to plan for the future in 2024.

About Inside the Season

Inside the Season is a new programming series from the Folger Shakespeare Library designed to highlight our seasonal theme through talks and hands-on activities that explore specific related topics. Each multidisciplinary talk brings together experts and artists in the field to show the variety of ways in which these ideas can be explored and expanded upon. This year we dive into Whose Democracy? to ignite conversation about power and participation.
