Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Pride & Prejudice" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools…than the high-stakes game of love? Additional info: Production Dates/Times: Feb 14th - 24th (Wed - Sun & Thurs - Sat) Opening on Valentine’s Day! 7:30pm evenings. 2pm Sunday matinee. What to bring to auditions: Your current resume. A current headshot. Two prepared monologues from the materials sent to you. Please apply to receive audition materials.
