Description:

Casting actors for the production of "Pride and Prejudice". Casting is limited to ages 15+. See more info below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: “Marriage is an inevitable fact of life for the five Bennet sisters -- Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. With the family estate entailed away to their closest male cousin, their only hope to advance in life is to find a rich and single man -- and one has just arrived in the form of the very handsome and very well-off Charles Bingley. The kindhearted and beautiful Jane seems poised to make a match, but must contend with her overly zealous mother, his snobbish sister, and a slippery social ladder. And when Bingley's taciturn friend Fitzwilliam Darcy shows an interest in the opinionated and spirited Elizabeth, the situation becomes more complicated than either of them expects. The fire and wit of Jane Austen's classic 1813 romance shines through in this vibrant new adaptation.” Additional info: Looking for actors, dancers, and someone who is able to play piano.
