"Pride and Prejudice" Audition for the Theater
Seeking performers for "Pride and Prejudice" play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, Pride and Prejudice 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?
