May 12 – May 29, 2022 at Riverside Theatre

A fun, funny, and fast-paced romp through the masterpieces of Jane Austen. Three nimble actors take on all of Austen’s beloved heroines, friends, and love interests—and her incisive social satire—in just 80 minutes. Emma, Elinor, Mr. Darcy, and more. “It is a truth universally acknowledged that an audience in possession of high spirits must be in want of a ticket to this big-hearted comedy that will delight Janeites and newcomers alike.” This piece comes to RT via Tiny Dynamite, a very cool Philadelphia company!
