Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

Milwaukee Rep - Quadracci Powerhouse Theater
Wednesday, December 5, 2018

By Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon

Directed by Kimberly Senior

A CONTEMPORARY HIT BASED ON A CLASSIC

Spend the holiday season with your favorite Pride and Prejudice characters as they gather at Pemberley, the stately home of Mr. and Mrs. Darcy.

Synopsis: In this clever and charming sequel to Jane Austen’s masterwork written by the most produced playwright in America in 2017, the bookish and oft-forgotten middle child of the Bennet family finally has her day. An unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence and the chance to be the heroine of her own story. Told with exceptional modern wit and dazzling period style, this romantic comedy will delight Austen aficionados and newcomers alike.

Estimated Run Time: Two hours and 20 minutes including one intermission (1:30 PM - 3:50 PM)

Learn more by visiting the Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley website regarding the cast, video clips of cast performances, interviews & rehearsals, and all the latest news as opening day (November 13th) draws near.

Feature story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: 'Christmas at Pemberley' at Milwaukee Rep is a holiday treat for Jane Austen fans

Miss Bennet will be staged in the large, yet intimate Quadracci Powerhouse Theater. For information including photos about this unique theater venue, click here.

The Quadracci Powerhouse Theater is handicapped accessible. There is handrail support on each row as you descend and ascend the aisle.

Rep-in-Depth:  An optional, but highly recommended, lively and informative 30-minute pre-talk which starts 45 minutes before every performance in the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater and runs from 12:45 PM to 1:15 PM. It is free and you can drop in any time during the course of the talk.

Accessibility Policy: On the Badger Bus, you must be able to climb steps to board and exit the bus. If you need assistance, we require that you bring a friend to give you a hand.

Guest Policy: Members must register their guests. Each PLATO member is entitled to bring one non-member guest per bus trip. (Members may bring more than one guest near the registration Deadline Date if seats are available. Check with trip organizer.) Non-member guests pay an additional $15.00 registration fee. PLATO Membership is $60.00/year.

LUNCH is on your own*

Our bus will make two neighborhood lunch stops in addition to the Group Lunch option at Mader's. First, at the Milwaukee Rep for their pre-show luncheon (RSVP by Monday, November 26, to Jaime Lacy at 414-290-7076 or JLacy@MilwaukeeRep.com), and second at Milwaukee Public Market in the Historic Third Ward.

The group lunch will be at Mader's Restaurant. This historic landmark Milwaukee restaurant will be decked in Christmas finery and is offering a German lunch buffet for $22.00 per person, tax and gratuity included. 

*Group Lunch Option is available to those who want to register, but may be hesitant...not knowing anyone and uncomfortable eating alone. The group option lunch addresses this concern and is a good way to make new theater trip friends. Just answer "Yes" to Group Lunch questions on the registration form and we will take care of the rest. 

Milwaukee Public Market

One stop will be at the Milwaukee Public Market containing eight distinctive eateries.

There are many nearby Third Ward restaurants from which to choose. A list of past PLATO theater trip participants' Third Ward restaurant recommendations, including websites and map, will be provided.
