‘Pride and Prejudice’ will bow twice on April 7 and matinee scheduled April 8

(April 5, 2018) Lower Shore Performing Arts Company will present “Pride and Prejudice” at Snow Hill High School on Saturday, April 7 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and April 8 at 2 p.m.

The performance of “Pride and Prejudice” is a streamlined theatrical version of Jane Austen’s classic novel involving manners, courtship and relationships.

The story involves a host of complex characters including Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Finding a husband is hardly Bennet’s most urgent priority.

When the independent-minded woman meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, all feelings of attraction are muted by his pride and her prejudice.

“Pride and Prejudice” will be directed by Mark Tyler, the director behind the classics “1776: The Musical, A Christmas Carol” and “Steel Magnolias.”

Tyler is a seasoned actor as well, performing in such shows as “The Sound of Music,” “Oliver” and “Death of a Salesman.”

He is joined by a cast of stage veterans and newcomers to Lower Shore Performing Arts Company.

Lower Shore Performing Arts Company’s mission is “to promote and develop a community that values the arts, through theatrical productions, community outreach, economic development, sound stewardship and providing educational opportunities to strengthen appreciation of the arts.”

The company has presented such productions as “A Christmas Carol,” “Murder on the Nile” and “Breathing Under Dirt.”
