Audition for Mr. Bennet's Bride on Oct 23 or 24 at 7:30pm! Roles for adults and young adults available.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on Mr. and Mrs. Bennet from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, this light and lovely comedy explores how this ill-matched couple met and married twenty five years before the famed novel’s opening. In the late eighteenth century, marriage is more a business transaction than a love affair. Pressure mounts on the young Mr. Bennet to find a suitable match, but his refusal to play by the rules sets in motion a series of events that are both comic and moving.
