Exploring Backstage With TheatreSquared & Pride and Prejudice Q & A
Study Group (2-3 session | Available
Join director of community experience, Tara Versey, for a two-part glimpse into the inner workings of TheatreSquared. Bring your walking shoes and be prepared to explore almost every nook and cranny of the building for a behind-the-scenes look at Northwest Arkansas’s remarkable regional professional theatre.
After the walking tour, we will have a Q&A discussion with artistic director Bob Ford and associate artistic director Amy Herzberg, who adapted the play Pride & Prejudice. Fall in love again with the sparkling wit and super-charged romance of Jane Austen’s beloved novel. Like the original, T2’s adaptation will both delight and challenge, as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy navigate the minefields of pride, prejudice, and their undeniable attraction to each other. TheatreSquared’s partnership with the Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences Department of Theatre infuses this production with new energy and fresh talent.
For part 2, the following night, you will be given the opportunity to watch the final dress rehearsal for Pride & Prejudice before it officially opens!
(Monday-1:00 pm - 2:30 pm / Tuesday - 7:00 pm - app 10:00 pm)
