How would you like to watch a stage performance of Pride and Prejudice after tucking into a gourmet meal?
Okanagan College is offering just such an indulgent combination from March 14–17.
The school’s own theatre troupe, the Red Dot Players, will be performing the play, which is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel by New Yorker Kate Hamill.
It opens with three evening shows (from 7:30 p.m.) and closes on Sunday, March 17 with a 2 p.m. matinee performance.
On March 14 and 15 guests can get their meals at Infusions Restaurant on the Kelowna campus before taking the few steps to the theatre.
Tickets with dinner cost $50 for adults or $47 for seniors and students.
If you choose to skip dinner, tickets are $18 for adults or $15 for students and seniors.
Jeremy Beaulne, the director of the play, said it promises to be “such a fun show”.
Beaulne, also an OC English professor, added: “Kate Hamill – who is a young playwright from New York – really captures the spirit of Jane Austen’s novel and presents it in such an exciting and engaging way.
“There’s great comedic characters and a wonderful emotional arc. It’s fast-paced, it’s energetic, and overall, it’s just going to be a really enjoyable experience for the audience.”
Tickets can be bought at kelownatickets.com or at the door.
