A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, Miss Bennet continues the story, but with bookish middle-sister, Mary, struggling against her family’s expectations and the fear that she does not deserve a companion. When everyone gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest brings new possibilities, inspiring kindness in each member of the family and the realization that love can be not just a duty, but a joy.

Reminder: When using a GPS or searching online for directions, DO NOT search for “Acacia Theatre Company”! This will take you to our office space, which is not the same as our performance venue. Search for “St. Christopher’s Church” and make sure that it matches the address above. (Some GPS systems may say River Hills, WI instead of Milwaukee – just make sure the first part of the address is correct as either city will get you to the church)
