Producer R. Erin Craig has announced that the new musical Austen's Pride will play a one-night-only concert engagement at the prestigious Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, June 29, 2023 at 8 PM. Featuring a book, music, and lyrics by Lindsay Warren Baker and Amanda Jacobs and orchestrations by Amanda Jacobs, Austen's Pride is directed by Igor Goldin with musical direction by Matt Perri, who will also conduct the evening, and choreography by Lisa Shriver.

This holiday season, cozy up with Blackfriars Theatre (795 East Main Street, Rochester) for the infectiously delightful new classic, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. Featuring all of your favorite Pride and Prejudice characters, the story picks up where the novel left off at the grand estate of newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy.

In keeping with its tradition of spotlighting new plays and emerging playwrights, in addition to the stalwarts that theatre audiences know and love ('Little Shop of Horrors' is next on the docket), Rochester's JCC Centerstage Theatre launched its production of 'Tracy Jones' on March 5th, a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere written by Stephen Kaplan. It's a play filled with laughs, tears, and high-octane anxiety that you don't want to miss.

As part of the Gala celebration, the evening will feature musical selections from the new musical Austen's Pride performed by Broadway's Mamie Parris (School of Rock) and Bobby Conte Thornton (Company), along with Olivia Hernandez, who was seen in the production at The 5th Avenue Theatre.

Eastman Opera Theatre will be premiering its first virtual presentation, 'Our Voices: Immersive Composer Collaborations,' December 16-20.
