Romeo and Juliet

Directed by H Adam. Harris

“Playing Juliet, Serena Phillip conveys the passion with which Juliet burns for Romeo, as well as the disdain she has for her parents' attempts to manipulate her affairs. Phillip, who was in Great River Shakespeare's company as an understudy last season, has moved up to take on this leading role with aplomb, showing the combustion that occurs in the heart of an adolescent reckoning with adult feelings and circumstances.”

“As the young lovers Alessandro Yokoyama as Romeo and Serena Phillip as Juliet are really terrific, with a great command of the language and an ability to make the immature decisions of the characters not feel juvenile, by bringing to the forefront the emotions they are battling. It’s one of the best productions of one of the most produced plays of Shakespeare’s that I’ve seen.”

—The Stages of MN

“I’ve seen Romeo and Juliet a million times, but ever like this…the young lovers' story looms large and is very affecting, with excellent and endearing performances by Alessandro Yokoyama and Serena Phillip.”

The Comedy of Errors

Directed by Doug Scholz-Carlson

 “The Courtesan…. is played by Serena Phillip with a confident swagger, marking a sign of the actor's wide range after seeing her as a besotted Juliet earlier that same day.”
