Charlotte Brontë's great love story comes to life with music to lift your
heart and set your spirit soaring. This beloved tale of secrets and the
lies that secrets create, of unimaginable hope and unspoken passion,
reminds us what it is to fall deeply, truly and completely in love.
Nominated for five Tony Awards, Jane Eyre explores religion, sexuality, and
proto-feminism, all while enchanting audiences with a timeless love story.

Jane's story begins in Gateshead Hall, where she is in the unfortunate care
of her cruel Aunt Reed and cousin, John, as per her uncle's dying wish. The
miserable young orphan is finally rescued when she is sent away to attend
Lowood School for Girls. After six years, Jane leaves Lowood and is shortly
after hired as a governess at Thornfield Hall. Here, she meets Mr. Edward
Rochester, thus beginning her passionate and heart-wrenching journey of
love, loss and the struggles of morality.

Cleveland Musical Theatre is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that exists
to create exceptional education for the Cleveland community and beyond
through re-imagined, innovative musical theater productions and workshops.
