In case you were wondering, here's who the characters represent –
Danny – Romeo
Katie – Juliet (and Rosalyn, for that matter, I couldn't be bothered to introduce another Sweaty girl)
Paul – Capulet
Jenna – Lady Capulet
Alister – Montague (OK, I didn't mention him much, but I needed a Montague for the last bit)
Rachel – Lady Montague
Christian – Mercutio (tries to persuade Danny to dance, loses in the fight against Tony)
Tony – Tybalt
Dinah – the nurse
Craig – Paris (was that his name? Bloke Juliet was forced to marry)
Holly – the citizen, Benvolio, the Prince
If you twist the story to Midsummer Night's Dream, they don't fit as well, but it's roughly this –
Danny – Lysander
Katie – Hermia
Craig – Demetrius
Paul/Jenna – Egius, Hermia's father
Holly – Theseus, the Duke of Athens who persuades Egius to allow the couples to wed who they choose
Dinah… is vaguely Helena. I wrote a non shakespearian sequel in which she was going out with Craig
All the others, including teachers, play the role of fairies – confusing the matter.
