Lakeland Theatre announces auditions for

PRIDE & PREJUDICE

By Jane Austen

Adapted for the stage by James Maxwell

Revised by Alan Stanford

Directed by Martin Friedman  

Sets and Lights Designed by Keith Nagy

Costumes Designed by Craig Thomas       Sound Design by Bill Amato

This is a beautiful adaptation of a wonderful classic. It’s very theatrical!

Auditions:

Saturday June 19, 2004 12 Noon – 2:00 PM  

Monday June 21, 2004 7:00 – 9:00 PM

Please prepare a brief monologue.  I will be interested in your attempt at an English dialect, although it is not necessary to master one at this time. All actors will also be asked to read from the script on the day you audition. Callbacks or additional auditions only as necessary. 

This adaptation was utilized by the Guthrie Theatre’s recent successful summer 2003 production and comes to Lakeland Theatre from the Gate Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. It is a wonderful adaptation that not only tells a wonderful story but illuminates the characters of Jane Austen’s timeless novel and the English society of the late 18th century.  

Production and Rehearsal dates:

Pride & Prejudice will open on October 8 and run through October 31, 2004. There maybe one or two school matinees on Thursday or Friday mornings. Of course, you will be compensated for all performances. Sorry, I only anticipate one Equity contract at this time. 

Rehearsals will begin on September 7, 2004.
