lillibet | Pride & Prejudice, Let Me Show You It

For anyone who's managed to miss it, I'm directing Pride & Prejudice. The show opens next week at the Somerville Theatre on Friday, March 23rd at 8pm. We're kicking things off with a Zombie Bash--you can come in costume if you like, get your face painted in the lobby, and join us at Joshua Tree for an After Party with the cast and crew. If you can't make it that night, you've got three more chances: at 8pm on Saturday, March 24th and Friday, March 30th or at 2pm on Saturday, March 31st. For tickets, you can click through from our website or go through the Somerville Theatre website--or stop by the box office at the theatre. Advance tickets are $15, at the door it's $20.

You can see a blooper reel from the first run-through and other sneak previews on the Theatre@First YouTube Channel. You can also watch Jo and I talking about T@F and P&P Somerville City Cable.

This has been an amazing experience for me. Starting from my favorite novel, I adapted the script, re-imagining it for the constraints of our stage. We had phenomenal turn-out for auditions and the resulting cast is a spectacular blend of familiar faces and exciting newcomers. Jo has outdone herself yet again with a fantastic set that really echoes and enhances the approach of the script to this wonderful story. I have had the opportunity to immerse myself in one of the great literary loves of my life, with incredibly support and enthusiasm from the community. I'm really looking forward to opening the doors and sharing what we've done with an audience. I hope that you will be able to be part of it.
