Before the national tour of West Side Story hits the Windy City later this month, why not brush up on the original Shakespeare tragedy that inspired it? First Folio Theatre in Oak Brook allows audiences to to watch the star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet out under the stars in a production directed by Nick Sandys. Romeo and Juliet plays in previews 8:15 p.m. July 6-8, with an official opening at 8:15 p.m. July 9. The production then continues 8:15 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays at the Mayslake Peabody Estate at 31st St. and Route 83 in Oak Brook. Tickets are $20 for previews, then $29-$35 during the regular run ($25-$30 for students and seniors). Call 630-986-8067 or visit www.firstfolio.org.
