Adapted from Jane Austin's novel by Jon Jory
Directed by Linda Khoury

Production Dates:
Wednesday thru Saturday, October 17th - 20th (7:30pm) at Finlay Park
Wednesday thru Saturday, October 24th - 27th (7:30pm) at Finlay Park

All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation. At the center of the story is the sharp-witted Elizabeth Bennet and her exploration of romance-led not just with her beauty, but also with her brain - as she meets the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. Along with swooning romance, the play deals with its accompanying obstacles - family baggage, social class and money matters with delicious wit and surprisingly clear-eyed observations. A world of memorable characters comes to life in this sparkling comedy of manners.

Awesome Info 

Artist in Residence Program Accepting Applications for 2013

Nature has long served as an inspiration for artists and the vast diversity of the landscape and culture in South Carolina makes the parks the perfect location for creative minds to go to work.

The Artist in Residence program invites sculptors, painters, photographers and other artists to create works of art based on their interpretations of a park’s natural and cultural offerings. The program is now accepting applications for 2013.

Selected artists will receive an all-expenses-paid stay in one of our parks with cabins. The cabins come with a fully-equipped kitchen, linens and bathrooms. In return, artists are asked to create a piece of work to donate to the parks within 90 days of their stay. The work will be displayed in cabins or other indoor facilities on the park and should reflect a part of the artist’s residing park for present and future generations.

Transportation to and from the cabins and park is left responsible to the artist, and he or she must bring all art supplies, gear, food and other amenities needed.


To fill out an application and look over the application procedure, download the form here. After the application deadline passes, state park representatives will review the applicants and assign artists to the park in which he or she will reside. 


For more information call 843-537-9656 or email mdavies@scprt.com with the subject line AIR 2013.
