About Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice
Adapted by Rebecca Gellott
from the novel by Jane Austen
Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado


Four proposals, three rejections, two marriages, and one scandal: this adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was conceived as a two-act romantic comedy, designed especially for high school, amateur, and semi-professional theatre companies, providing lots of opportunities for female leads and optional multi-generational casting.

This superbly written script restores many popular scenes and conversations from the book, often cut from other stage and screen adaptations, and utilizes a much more modern design concept enhanced by contemporary projection elements, lighting, and multifunctional set pieces to help younger, more modern audiences relate to this otherwise traditional period piece.

Revisit all your favorite characters here: witty, free-spirited Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters, including the lovely Jane; Mrs. Bennet, who only wants what’s best for her daughters; Mr. Bennet, who has made it his life’s work to affectionately make sport of his wife; and of course, the suitors, Mr. Darcy, Charles Bingley, and George Wickham.

Christian Fellowship Theater

Mission Statement

The mission of Christian Fellowship Theater is to empower a generation of students by providing a safe place for them to grow in their gifts while enjoying the experience of theater.

Goals

1. For our leaders and students to grow in their gifts and their relationship with Christ

2. For unity and teamwork in each troupe and CFT as a whole

3. For high-quality, family-friendly productions to be presented to our family, friends, and community

Priorities

At the heart of CFT are three priorities:

1. Our first priority is to be a Christian organization. We teach our students theatrical skills in a Christian atmosphere with the goal of glorifying the Lord through excellence. This means that we seek out leaders who are following Christ, leaders who seek to honor God in their daily walk, leaders who seek to mentor young people and point them to Christ.

2. Our second priority is to give our students a place to belong, a place to be safe, vulnerable, and compassionate. We fellowship together through worship, prayer, devotion time, drama games, and through our productions. Our desire is to create an atmosphere where relationships can be fostered as we grow together in Christ.

3. Our final priority is theater, the means by which we accomplish our first two priorities. Stepping onto the stage to become a character stretches the faith of many of our students, and witnessing this transformation blesses both the parents and the leaders of CFT. We strive for excellence, not perfection. We strive for personal growth for each student and an establishment of team unity.
