Improvised Jane Austen
Prepare yourselves to be bewitched body and soul… by witches! Ready yourself for emotional vampires… and real ones! Guard your heart against the gothic novel and g-g-g-ghosts?! It’s the scariest season of all! And even Jane Austen enjoyed sitting down with a spooky gothic novel (think Twilight but with even MORE melodrama) on a dark and stormy night. Just like Jane Austen satirized and celebrated the Gothic novels of her day with her novel Northanger Abbey, so shall the players of Improvised Jane Austen this October! Blending the Gothic Novel with Jane Austen’s signature romantic comedy and social satire, Improvised Jane Austen presents: The Gothic Novel!

Playing in Austen’s world, Improvised Jane Austen’s stories delight 21st century audiences with a modern sense and sensibility. The current cast of 20+ performers rotate weekly, creating a new ensemble for every show. Come for the humor (and horror), stay for the heart!
