Austentatious
About the Show
When the Cochrane Ranche Amateur Players announce a new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, stage manager Sam has her hands full with a colourful array of community theatre misfits: a clueless director, an egotistical writer/choreographer/leading lady, a scorned diva, an overlooked veteran, and the town’s local druggie. But when Sam begins to fall for the leading man, things really start to get complicated.
Twelve Days
