Following the success of two more star-studded revivals, including “A Streetcar Named Desire" and Horton Foote’s “The Trip To Bountiful," Byrd and Jones-Harvey kicked off their newest production, "Romeo and Juliet," this past weekend, featuring a multicultural lineup -- an African-American Juliet (Condola Rashad) and a white Romeo (Orlando Bloom).
