"Pride and Prejudice" Play Seeks Teen Actors
Audition for "Pride and Prejudice". Welcome all actors aged 16 or above to audition. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife,” Lizzy Bennet laughs with the acuity and wit that has endeared her to generations of readers and, now, theatre goers alike. Jane Austen’s beloved classic novel is brought to fresh, fun new life in Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. There is little hope for the four Bennet sisters beyond “ensnaring” a wealthy future husband, but Lizzy dreams of more than the schemes and games of courtship. A young woman with a bright mind and a free-spirit, she is determined to avoid the trappings of a loveless marriage while laughing at the foolish antics of others. When she meets the solemn Mr. Darcy, she immediately judges him to be all that she detests: proud, arrogant, rude, and so without civility that she can hardly endure his presence.
