It’s regarded as one of the most famous love story ever told, yet it has never been staged in Sterling, Kansas. Not at the Sterling High School, Sterling College or the Sterling Community Theatre. Until now. Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” is being staged by Sterling College Theatre, featuring a mixture of college students, high school students, and community members from age 16 to 64.

Sterling College hosted the Kansas State Individual Events Tournament Feb. 10, with colleges and universities from across the state competing for championship titles. Four Sterling College students walked away with awards, the highest from freshman Matt Scharff of Tonganoxie, Kansas, being named state champion in dramatic interpretation.
