Love is in the air as Valentine's Day approaches. The Illinois State University School of Theater is getting into the spirit of things with a new production of  Shakespeare's  Romeo and Juliet.  Not only is it one of The Bard's most popular plays, it's also delightfully quotable, as director Kevin Rich explains.

Reporter, content producer and former All Things Considered host, Laura Kennedy is a native of the Midwest who occasionally affects an English accent just for the heck of it. Related to two U.S. presidents, Kennedy appalled her family by going into show business.
