“Romeo and Juliet are beautifully played by Johnny Esposito and Katie Ault. They make the transition from carefree youngsters into dramatic adults wonderfully. His love scenes with her are tender and romantic while his scenes with the Friar crackle with intensity as her scenes do with her parents, the Nurse and the Friar. He commands the stage in Act 1 with his enormous amount of dialogue and does a great job with his mental anguish at the death of Tybalt as well as when he finds Juliet in the tomb.”

“Butts and Esposito work extremely well together, especially in highlighting the steadily unsteady relationship of Logan and Jaxton.”
“Esposito says his creativity and imagination are inspired by fantasy and the magic of the books and stories he read as a child. The actor explains that he ‘has tried to allow the best aspects of [his] childhood to live on into adulthood.’ He goes on to say, ‘Portraying one of the most famous forever children in fantasy feels so special - especially in my first production of the major life transition I am navigating.’”

“Esposito’s performance was magnetic. He commanded the stage with authority, yet still managed to put everyone, even his audience-actors, at ease. I saw at least one person shed a tear and came quite close to it myself at a couple points.”
Olivia Dimond, The Bates Student
“Johnny Esposito was brilliant in his role as a flamboyant and at times childish man, which led to some hilarious moments.”
Eleanor Boyle, The Bates Student
“Esposito had moments where Jerry questions himself and what he has just said. They felt so lifelike to me that I had a couple moments of paralyzing fear that Esposito was actively searching for a line.”
Olivia Dimond, The Bates Student
