Called "a national theatrical treasure" by The Philadelphia Inquirer, the renowned L.A. Theatre Works brings to life Jane Austen's wit and words in a radio theater-style production of Pride & Prejudice. One of the most enduring literary works of all time, the story marks its 200th anniversary in 2013. This tale of the Bennets - a family blessed with five daughters and a mother desperate to marry them off - has delighted generations with its tempestuous pairing of the headstrong Elizabeth and the arrogant (but honorable) Mr. Darcy.

The production features television actress Jane Carr of Two and a Half Men, The Closer, and Gilmore Girls. Nicholas Hormann has appeared in the television series Seinfeld, Parks & Recreation, Desperate Housewives, Frasier, The West Wing, and the movie Kramer vs. Kramer.

Founded in 1974 to enrich cultural life by using innovative technology to preserve works of dramatic literature, LATW captivates audiences with productions that feature first-rate casts and live sound effects, connecting to each listener in a way that is rarely experienced in traditional theatrical programs. The group delivers "consistently superb work," praised the Los Angeles Times.

For more than two decades, LATW has single-handedly brought the finest recorded dramatic literature into the homes of millions. Works by famous playwrights - including Eugene O'Neill, David Henry Hwang, Athol Fugard, Wendy Wasserstein, Neil Simon, David Mamet, Charlayne Woodard, and Arthur Miller - have been performed and recorded by LATW with casts that consist of critically acclaimed film and stage actors. LATW's unique live-radio theater-style shows have dazzled audiences throughout the United States, including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Washington, and Chicago.

LATW's community outreach is strong and vast. Its much-lauded Audio Theatre Collection includes more than 400 classic and contemporary titles, making it the largest library of its kind in the world. The award-winning compilation has been honored by the Audio Publishers Association, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Publisher's Weekly, Writer's Guild of America, American Library Association, and The Recording Foundation (organizer of the Grammy Awards). Through LATW's Alive & Aloud educational outreach program, high schools nationwide use the recordings and study guides to teach and promote language, literature, history, and civics.
