Lifeline Theatre Announces Virtual 2020-2021 Programming

In November, Lifeline Theatre will be re-releasing their virtual production of Pride & Prejudice from Nov. 12 - 30.

Adapted by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Christina Calvit and directed by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Dorothy Milne. In the town of Meryton, reputation and marriage can secure - or destroy - a young woman's happiness. Faced with the loss of their land and income, Elizabeth Bennet's mother is desperate to secure husbands for her daughters at any cost.

When Lizzy is introduced to Mr. Darcy at a local dance, tempers flare as her independent spirit clashes with his ingrained arrogance. Can the headstrong rivals overcome their pride and prejudice to repair the romantic entanglements which surround them and find lasting love? Join this cast of memorable characters as they explore Jane Austen's beloved comedy of manners in our modern, virtual world!

Pride and Prejudice runs Nov. 12 - 30 online. Ticket holders will receive a password to view the production for the whole weekend of purchase.
