Pride & Prejudice: Theatre for Young Audiences Adaptation

Don’t miss Pride & Prejudice adapted by Jon Jory young audiences, from the novel by Jane Austen.

This production, directed by Courtney O’Connor, runs between December 1st and December 9th.

Finding a husband isn’t Elizabeth Bennet’s most urgent priority, but it’s difficult to escape the subject—especially once she meets the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. But in a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice? This refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation of one of the most beloved novels of all time captures the wit and romance of Jane Austen’s writing. The story may be set in Regency-era England, but our struggles with love, money, pride, and prejudice are still ongoing today.
