Click here for more information on this production that runs through January 2"The novels that Jane Austen wrote, including "Pride and Prejudice," "Emma," and "Sense and Sensibility," have spawned countless film, TV, and stage adaptations, including several modern updated versions, as well as a humorous reimagining of sorts entitled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Five years ago, a stage sequel to "Pride and Prejudice" written by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon made its debut. While there aren't any zombies in Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, Gunderson and Melcon have created a well-crafted piece that makes for a fitting follow-up to Austen's beloved work. Arizona Theatre Company is presenting the local regional debut of the comedy in a winning production with a great cast, gorgeous creative elements, and spiffy direction. While the ending is predictable, the trip to the fitting conclusion is a most worthwhile journey infused with romance, witty wordplay, and vibrant and loving depictions of Austen's beloved characters...." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

The comedy is the first of what ATC’s artistic director, Sean Daniels, promises to be an annual holiday-themed production during future seasons...." -Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix (click here to read the complete review)
