Tahoma Jr. High Presents Pride and Prejudice Beginning Nov. 14

Travel to a simpler time when manners ruled the day and marriage was the
topic of the season.

On November 14, 15, 21 and 22, Tahoma Jr. High School Drama Club presents Jon Jory's adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice at Tahoma Middle School. Two casts will perform three shows each during the run of the show. Tickets can be purchased at the door - $7 general admission; $5 for students with ASB. Children 5 and under are free. Friday and Saturday night shows start at 7 p.m.; Saturday matinees begin at 2 p.m.

address: 25600 SE Summit Landsburg Rd.
Ravensdale, WA 98051 (Maple Valley)

Jane Austen's rich characters are brought to life on the stage as student
actors reveal how people lived in 19th Century England through dance, dress, manners and customs. Joel Thompson (9th grade), who played the part of the Tin Man in The Wiz two seasons ago, returns to Tahoma Drama in the role of Fitzwilliam Darcy. Veteran Tahoma actresses Sadie Christensen (9thgrade) and Esther Oosterhout (8th grade) share the lead role of Elizabeth Bennet. Other actors include Tyler Bocock/Kallen Patterson, as Charles Bingley; Tracy Anderson/Allie Palmer as Mrs. Bennet; and Bennett Campbell as Mr. Bennet. 8th grader, Will Chadek, provides comic relief to the show in the role of Mr. Collins.

Jane Sighting: New Austen Note Revealed!

11/12/2014

Checking out some of my favorite Jane Austen Facebook pages, an article out of the UK came across my screen. A note Jane had written in 1814 that had faded has been restored! Most likely a continuation of a sermon (she used to write them out for her brother, James), critics/researchers believe it may have a link/connection to Mansfield Park, one of the more controversial texts Austen had written (due to it's extreme moral stance and rather wimpy heroine...some think).  

Read the full article here and let us know what you think!
