Until you realize that community theatre means open to the public for anyone to join who likes theatre and she was 13. He could have been like 40.

Well maybe, the community theater programs I joined in the past (when I was a kid and teen) were generally only for kids and or teens. So there are age specific groups.

Given that Romeo is supposed to be only a few years older than Juliet, it'd be weird AF to cast anyone but a teenager anyway.

And Juliet is 13. I can see casting an older Romeo if you were going off age for Juliet also but if you cast a correct age Juliet wouldn't you cast a correct age Romeo?
