Update Feb. 25: The second showing on Saturday was previously listed as 6 p.m. It is at 7 p.m.

The Palm Coast Arts Foundation and City Repertory Theatre's production of "Romeo and Juliet" will shift locations after high winds severely damaged the PCAF tent in Town Center on Feb. 22. The show will now take place at CRT's normal location at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite 207, at the previously advertised showtimes: 7 p.m. on Feb. 27 and 28, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Feb. 29 and 3 p.m. on March 1.

"In light of Mother Nature's new incursion into the theatre arts, CRT, in coordination with the Palm Coast Arts Foundation, has determined to move our production," wrote John Sbordone, CRT creative director. "The tradition of Shakespeare in the Park is too important to Flagler County not to continue our efforts. The cast and crew believe so thoroughly in the project that they have all volunteered to do whatever is necessary to insure a successful transfer of the show. They are troopers all!"
