ROMEO & JULIET TICKETS NOW ON SALE!
This play is a timeless tragedy, penned in the early stages of Shakespeare’s career. Unfolding in Verona, Italy, Romeo & Juliet tells the tale of two young lovers from feuding families, the Montagues and the Capulets. Romeo and Juliet’s passionate love defies the social and familial boundaries that seek to keep them apart. Their ill-fated romance leads to a series of tragic events, culminating in the untimely deaths of the titular characters. Against the backdrop of intense familial strife, the play explores themes of love, fate, and the consequences of unchecked hatred.
NOTE: Due to its tragic content and depiction of violence, this show is not recommended for children under 13+.

Sleeping Next to Your Phone? What Parents Should Know
Insomnia — most people have experienced it, and it’s really not pleasant. I’m sure many of you can relate. The first time I experienced insomnia was during my senior year of college, and that’s what sparked my interest in the science of sleep.
Later, when I became a doctor, I found that one of the most common reasons people come to see me is because they’re struggling to sleep.
Fast forward to today, many adults now bring mini-computers to bed, full of whatever keeps us scrolling: news, sports, social media, and so on. I treat sleep problems first and foremost with behavioral changes. What's called CBT-I, which always includes a conversation about nighttime tech use.
Now, let’s talk about my younger patients, who often come to my office with their parents. Whether or not the young person is bringing up sleep issues, there are things I often bring up with their parents.
In today’s blog, I share two key things I think are critical for parents to know.
