“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Celebrate Jane Austen's 250th Birthday with a new adaptation of her most popular novel. Considered one of the most celebrated novels in the English language, Pride and Prejudice is the unforgettable story of the lively and quick-witted Miss Elizabeth Bennet and the smoldering and haughty Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Set in rural England, the Bennets are a family with five daughters who will not inherit their family's estate which is entailed to the nearest male relative. When Elizabeth first meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he may or may not be utterly indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. In this sparkling coming of age comedy of manners, our dear couple quickly discovers the dangers of first impressions and that sometimes it takes a little time and a lot of understanding for love to fully bloom.

Like so many in our Tampa Bay community, the 2024 hurricane season did not leave us unscathed. As we were counting down the final months until 2025 and our 100th anniversary, Hurricane Milton blew in and blew the roof right off our beloved community theater. But this one-hundred-year storm is no match for our one-hundred-year organization. It was a challenging time, but through the extraordinary generosity of our donors and volunteers we were able to replace our roof and be back in business without ever having to cancel a performance. However, many repairs are still needed to get our stage floor, stage curtains, and lighting and sound systems back to where they should be. All donations will go directly to ensuring our theater remains a beacon and a home for our community for the next 100 years.
