Play description:  Imagine being able to step into the mind of one of the world’s greatest authors as she completes her masterpiece... Austen’s Pride springs to life as Jane Austen transforms her rough draft into a beloved classic. As the characters from Pride and Prejudice come to life around her, Jane Austen learns to see both the story and herself in a new light. With a glorious and sweeping score, Austen’s Pride is a Connecticut premier, and we are thrilled that our audiences will be the first to see it!
