Fresh from a sell-out run at the New York Musical Theatre Festival, new musical comedy AUSTENTATIOUS is a love letter to the theatre. Stage manager Sam is stretched to breaking point during a chaotic new production of Pride and Prejudice. Will the cast learn to stop arguing? Will Mr Darcy choose the right girl? Will those tap shoes ever come in handy?

Anna Bella Eema is a trailer-park odyssey about a precocious 10-year-old girl and her mother who live on the edge of extinction. As her home is threatened so a city can expand, Anna Bella breathes life into a girl made out of mud who catapults them onto a pulse-quickening rollercoaster ride filled with vampires, wild animals and police chases.

As her home is threatened so a city can expand, Anna Bella breathes life into a girl made out of mud who catapults them onto a pulse-quickening rollercoaster ride filled with vampires, wild animals and police chases. Crackling with the heat of the mother/daughter bond, this family's secrets and deepest instincts vividly remind us not only of how many in America are mistreated, silenced, and forgotten but also the tremendous power of their inner resources and resiliency.

The New York Musical Theatre Festival and From the Top Productions will present the New York premiere of Austentatious, featuring Stephanie D'Abruzzo in a musical comedy about a community theatre troupe staging a new production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
