OLDstars on the ROAD 2025
ROMEO A JULIET 2025
We are an independent art group with over a hundred students, mostly from high schools and colleges. In the eighteen years of our existence we have staged over 300 productions and organized 18 annual theatre festivals. These include the OLDstars on the ROUD benefit festival and the Festival of Student Theatres in Prague's Theatre in Celetná, which are still held regularly today.
We organize theatre tours and other cultural projects all over the country. As part of our Prague activities, we run two spaces in Vršovice: the basement HarOLD in Charkovská Street and the H2/O Residential Theatre in nearby Košická Street. We regularly take part in student theatre shows and community neighbourhood events - Night of Theatres, Experience the City Differently, International REGOINY festival etc.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The theatre tour on skates and roller skates started in 2024 from Kutná Hora. During July, the teenager's production of the story of the most famous lovers visited Vrdy, Nymburk, Zruč nad Sázavou Castle, Libochovice Castle, Brandýs nad Labem Castle, Benešov, Roudnice nad Labem and Prague to great interest of the audience. The tour ended spectacularly at Točník Castle.
Our ambition this year is to take the adapted production on a summer tour to Croatia, where we want to play mainly for Czech citizens - holiday tourists - in hotel resorts, thus providing them with another unforgettable experience of a summer holiday by the sea.
William Shakespeare / Martin Hilský - ROMEO AND JULIE
A summer dose of love packed for the road. Come and fall in love!
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
