Be sure to get your boogie-woogie to the Allen Summer Youth Theatre’s production of “Jump ‘n’ Jive Juliet,” a big-band take on “Romeo and Juliet,” which pits the rivalrous families in a jitterbug faceoff in 1940s Venice Beach, Calif. A nosy cleaning woman, an oily lawyer, an escaped con — these are just a few of the ingredients that combine to make this hour-long musical bubble with ecstatic comedy. Sponsored by the Sleeper Family and Whitehead trusts and directed by Allen Community College theatre director Tony Piazza, the show runs Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Allen College Theatre. Admission is free. Pictured above, from left: Parker Smith, Gaby Lampe, Allie Fager, Jie Jie Burleson, River Hess, Austin Morris, Lexie Vega, Sarah Clark and Drew Tucker.
