All the World's a Stage Project

Being a teenager is hard. Guess what? It's been hard for a really long time -- 500+ years long. Based on your understanding of Romeo & Juliet, Shakespeare, adolescent development, and yourself, create a media product that shows what it means to be a teenager today. No matter what product you create (play, film, cartoon, comic book, dance, poster, opera, song), you must also create a script to accompany that product.
