PICT's Season Finale JANE EYRE Opens Next Week At WQED

PICT Classic Theatre will conclude its 2017-2018 Season with JANE EYRE, opening at WQED's Fred Rogers Studio in Oakland on April 7th.

The script for PICT's JANE EYRE has been adapted from the novel by Charlottë Bronte by PICT Artistic and Executive Director Alan Stanford, who will also direct the piece. Stanford's dramatization of the classic was originally commissioned by The Gate Theatre in Dublin where it achieved considerable box office success, as well as at The Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, establishing record ticket sales in 2007.

JANE EYRE will feature Karen Baum in the title role, with Paul Bernardo as Mr. Rochester, and James FitzGerald as Mr. Brocklehurst.

PICT's JANE EYRE will run from April 7th to April 28th, 2018, with preview performances on Thursday, April 5th and Friday, April 6th.
