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).
