About the Show

June 18 - Aug. 21, 2022

by KATE HAMILL, based on the novel by JANE AUSTEN, directed by MEREDITH McDONOUGH

Emma Woodhouse prides herself on being a matchmaker with an impeccable track record, much to the chagrin of her dear friend Mr. Knightley. Her latest scheme revolves around the sweet Harriet Smith, whom Emma advises to reject a perfectly good marriage proposal in favor of another eligible bachelor. However, her best-laid plans are turned upside down by unpredictable displays of affection, unexpected rivals and Emma’s sudden realization that true love may have been under her nose all along. With screwball comedy and surprises aplenty, this fresh, fast-paced world premiere interprets the Jane Austen classic with delightfully unconventional flair.

Recommended for ages 8 and up. This production includes British accents, music and dancing, characters who speak directly to the audience and thematic elements (feminism, heartbreak, trickery,) that may not be suitable for young children.

In this Relaxed Performance (Activity hour 11:30 am-12:30 pm, Show 1:00), small modifications will be made to the performance, which may include reducing the volume of loud noises and effects, eliminating strobe lights, keeping the house lights on and having a relaxed attitude toward sound and movement in the audience. In addition to making adjustments onstage and in the theater, lobbies and public spaces will include quiet areas, sensory-friendly activities and increased staff to create a safe, welcoming environment.
