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.
