Pride and Prejudice Opens on May  6
 
     On May 6, 2011, Regency  England comes to Canal Fulton when the Canal 
Fulton Players at the UMC Family  Theatre present Jane Austen’s Pride and 
Prejudice.  This story, which is  adapted to the stage by Helen Jerome from 
Ms. Austen’s novel , is about the love  story between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth 
Bennett during the first decade of the  nineteenth century.  The Samuel 
French production will be presented in two  acts on May 6-8 and 13-15, 2011 at 
7:30 pm.  It is produced by David Van  Gaasbeek, who co-directs with Anita 
Artzner.  Ms. Artzner also serves as  choreographer.
Elizabeth Allard stars as  Elizabeth Bennett, the headstrong second 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett (Gary  Liknes and Cindy Bagocius), who are the 
owners of a small estate in Northern  England.  Mr. and Mrs. Bennett have five 
daughters, Elizabeth, Jane (Sarah  Price), Lydia (Emily Liknes), Mary (Emma 
Canfield), and Kitty (Gracyn  Loper).  They have no sons and under the laws 
of England, a woman cannot  inherit real property.  Thus, it is important 
for at least one of the  daughters to marry so the estate does not go to the 
boorish Mr. Collins (Ray  Olivera), who is Mr. Bennett’s only male  heir.
Entering the picture are two very rich  eligible young men.  Mr. Bingley 
(Josh Rowe) is looking for a wife and is  deeply interested in one of the 
Bennett girls.  Mr. Darcy (David Derry) is  alarmed when he sees that Bingley is 
interested in marrying below his social  status.  Aided by Bingley’s 
sister, Caroline (Kimberly Vinson), he sets out  to prevent any nuptials from 
occurring.
The  rest of the story will require that you come to see Pride and 
Prejudice on May  6-8 and 13-15.  The play will be presented in the Fellowship Hall 
Theatre  at the United Methodist Church of Canal Fulton, 363 West Cherry 
Street, Canal  Fulton, Ohio.  Admission is $8.00 for adults and $6.00 for 
seniors and  children under the age of twelve years.  The doors open at 7:00 pm 
and the  curtain rises at 7:30 pm.
The remainder of the  cast consists of Sandra Schmeltzer (Lady Catherine de 
Bourgh), Kristi Liknes  (Mrs. Gardner), Tyler Brewer (Mr. Wickham), Jason 
Reagon (Fitzwilliam), Drew  Hutchinson (the Young Man), Laurel Derry 
(Charlotte Lucas), Sharon Burnley (Lady  Lucas) and Jack Yoak (Hill).
