    Graduate Student Outing: Pride and Prejudice Play
    8:00pm
    at Stillwell Theater

    Enjoy an evening at the theater, compliments of the Graduate College!

     

    Join us on Friday, April 5, at 8 p.m. at Stillwell Theater to watch a fresh adaptation of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice. Twenty (20) complimentary tickets are available and will be held at will-call on the night of the performance. Reserve your seat HERE.

     

    There is a waiting list for this event. If after you register, you discover you cannot attend, please email the Graduate College as soon as possible at ksugrad@kennesaw.edu.

     

    About the play: This bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! In Regency England, love is a serious game, and the Bennet sisters are playing for keeps. This clever comedy offers a decidedly progressive take on the trials of Lizzy, Mr. Darcy, and the whole Bennet clan, with a few dance breaks thrown in for good measure. Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life as it does in this effervescent adaptation.
