Lifeline Theatre Extends PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Through 7/8

To accommodate unprecedented ticket demand, Lifeline Theatre announces nineteen added performances of its Jeff Recommended, critically acclaimed production of Pride and Prejudice, adapted from Jane Austen's classic romance novel by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Christina Calvit (1986 Non-Equity Jeff Award winner: New Adaptation), and directed by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Elise Kauzlaric. 

In the town of Meryton, reputation and marriage can secure - or destroy - a young woman's happiness. Faced with the loss of land and income, Elizabeth Bennet's mother is desperate to secure husbands for her daughters at any cost. When Lizzy is introduced to Mr. Darcy at a local dance, tempers flare as her independent spirit clashes with his ingrained arrogance. Can the headstrong rivals overcome their pride and prejudice to repair the romantic entanglements which surround them and find lasting love? A world of memorable characters comes to life in this sparkling comedy of manners, freshly updated for its first appearance on the Lifeline stage in twenty years. This production runs two and a half hours with one intermission. The book will be on sale in the lobby.
