The Providence Atheneum (pronounced Ath-A-Nay-Um) puns on it's name in true Shakespearean style. Juliet says:
That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
So a performance of Romeo and Juliet in this beautiful, historic 1838 library is called "A Rose by Any Other (Athe)Name"!
Would you like to perform in it? If you're in 3rd to 5th grade, you can, and be taught acting by our famous Trinity Rep. Have your folks read the annotation below, and break a leg!
