Improvised Jane Austen Begins a New Run of Shows at CIC
By: Kelsey Denette
In 1817, the world suffered the loss of Jane Austen, the quintessential courtship novelist. Improvised Jane Austen now presents a delightful show that attempts to fill the void of the countless novels lost due to her untimely demise. Social class, elopements, blustering spinsters, and sinister sisters are given a 21st century twist as the ladies use the voice of Austen to comment on love in our own time. Will our heroine end up with Mr. Darcy? Or will she run off to pursue her dream of a career? When you combine ten smart women with the wittiest author of all, anything can happen.
Improvised Jane Austen is: Colleen Breen, Mel Evans, Rachel Grandi, Stephanie Jones, Kyna Lenhof, Sarah Mobley, Kristen Parise, Kate Parker, Annie Rijks, Natalie Tinaglia. Directed by Joe Burton, of the Bughouse Theater and Improvised Shakespeare.With a different opening improv team each week.Every Thursday in July and August, starts Thursday, July 7th.
