Lifeline Theatre Opens PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, 4/30

Lifeline Theatre presents an adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Christina Calvit, and directed by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Elise Kauzlaric.

In the town of Meryton, reputation and marriage can secure - or destroy - a young woman's happiness. Faced with the loss of 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?
