​

This February, the award-winning Woodinville High School Theatre Company will bring the most beloved, classic Jane Austin novel Pride and Prejudice to the stage of the WHS Theater. This adaptation mixes classic and modern elements to create a humorous, madcap evening of Regency theatre for our audience. The show will run February 4, 5, 10 and 11 at 7:00 pm, in the Woodinville High School Theater – delivering a timeless story of love and goodness!

​

Pride and Prejudice is a tale of love and values that unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late eighteenth century. The five Bennet sisters - including strong-willed Elizabeth, serious and thoughtful Jane, and young and frivolous Lydia - have been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. There will undoubtedly be no shortage of suitors among the man's sophisticated circle of friends for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and - it would seem - snobbish Mr. Darcy, the battle of the sexes is joined.

​

The cast of this production comprises 22 of Woodinville High School Theatre Company's students, including seniors Aidan Robb, Allison Calhoon, Carolyn Dunbar, David Fountain, Kasey Christie, Maggie Mus, Jacob Price, Georgia Willis, and Pedro Cunha.

​
