SATURDAY AND NEXT SUNDAY

Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks presents "Romeo & Juliet" directed by Helen M. Meade at Frick Park's Blue Slide Playground in Squirrel Hill at 2 p.m. "Meade is staging Romeo and Juliet's stories simultaneously, and the audience will have to choose sides -- will they follow the Capulets (Juliet) or the Montagues (Romeo)? Of course, the lovers will reunite for their scenes together," says PSIP artistic director Jennifer Tober.

Audience members are advised to take a blanket and be prepared for the show to go on in any kind of weather. All performances are free to the public, with audience donations accepted. PSIP will stage the play the first four weekends in September. Other show dates include Sept. 7-8 at Allegheny Commons, Ridge Avenue and Arch Street, North Side; Sept. 14-15 at Arsenal Park, 40th and Butler streets, Lawrenceville; and Sept. 21-22 at Frick Park, Blue Slide Playground, Beechwood Boulevard and Nicholson Street, Squirrel Hill. All shows are at 2 p.m. and run about an hour and 20 minutes. Info: www.pittsburghshakespeare.com.
