Is There Actually Still Grunge Music In Today's Seattle?
“At Melbourne High School on the Atlantic coast in Florida, veteran theater director Rodney Savickis struck a deal with a local Starbucks to help sponsor an April production of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ set to grunge music in today’s Seattle, with the Capulets led by the CEO of Starbucks and the Montagues by the CEO of Microsoft. ‘Romeo is kind of a computer geek,’ and Juliet an ‘earthy, crunchy granola type,’ Mr. Savickis says. The local Starbucks plans to donate cups, coffee, pastries and some baristas to sell food at intermission and after the show. Proceeds will go to the school, Starbucks will get a mention in the playbill and actors will drink from Starbucks-branded cups on stage, says Mr. Savickis.”
