For those whose ears reject the baroque pentameter of Shakespeare’s language but who still like to sip every now and then from the cup of classic literature, the Allen Summer Youth Theatre group has got a musical for you.

The group delivers its final performance of “Jump ‘N’ Jive Juliet” — a riff on “Romeo and Juliet” — tonight at 7:30 at the Allen College Theatre. Admission is free.

Spiced with just enough poetry to keep your parents happy, this fast-paced, hour-long ensemble comedy stays aloft on the winds of its exultant choreography, rapid-fire dialogue and enormous overall charm.
