Once upon a time at a summer theater camp, my friends and I decided we were destined to bring Shakespeare to life like no one had ever seen before. We thought we would create a modern twist on "Romeo and Juliet" by incorporating social media. Picture this: Romeo sliding into Juliet’s DMs instead of sneaking into her garden. We eagerly gathered at our favorite spot — the camp's rickety old stage — to brainstorm ideas. Ideas flowed like the trusty gushing fountain in the middle of camp, until one of our friends, Max, suggested we cast his pet goldfish, Gilly, as Juliet. We burst into laughter, half convinced it was brilliant and half convinced we had officially lost it.
With Gilly in a makeshift fishbowl throne and Max as the enthusiastic director, we rehearsed our show night after night. Max had an uncanny knack for ‘directing’ the goldfish, constantly yelling, “Juliet! Stop swimming so fast! You’ll scare Romeo away!” Of course, Romeo was played by Jake, who took every opportunity to dramatically swoon and pretend to drown in despair every time Gilly flipped her fins. The camp was filled with laughter, but our real challenge lay ahead: opening night. We were both nervous and excited, convinced we were about to create theatrical history.
The big night arrived, and we had our audience buzzing with intrigue (and a bit of skepticism). As the curtain lifted, Jake strutted onto the stage, dramatically declaring, “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?” just before slipping on a stray piece of gummy candy left from a fellow camper's snack attack. He slid across the stage like a cartoon character who had just seen a banana peel, narrowly avoiding a collision with Gilly’s fishbowl. Somehow, the fish bowl tipped over, and Gilly leapt out; she flopped around stage, illuminated in the spotlight, fully portraying chaos.
What ensued was pure hilarity: Jake chasing the fish while still shouting his lines, and the audience in stitches. Our carefully crafted modern Shakespearean drama turned into an unpredictable comedy performance. In the end, Gilly became the star of the show, securing an impromptu musical number from the camp talent show later. We may not have changed the world of theater, but we did create a legendary camp memory — and Gilly became a lifelong honor, the true Juliet of summer theater camp.
