Director Steve Small has chosen to set the love triangle story of William Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona in the Doo Wop era of the late 1950's and early 1960's. Shakespeare's characters will be portrayed as  bobby-soxers, nerds, beatniks, and greasers. There will be lots of laughs, lots of Doo Wop music, and of course, a happy ending.
