Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Pride and Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature\u2019s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools \u2026 than the high-stakes game of love?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ghost-music\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Ghost Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-charcoal-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-8b3f9d60f9fc8b706d2ce397e0b04d8b\">A professional world premiere<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-0b70ad5d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>Written by Bo List<br>Directed by Abe Reybold<br>May 7\u201311<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-crimson-color has-text-color\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\"><strong>Mainstage Series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/transytickets.ticketspice.com\/ghostmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reserve Tickets<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s only been a month since Dawn&#8217;s musician husband, Clark, suddenly died. When his former student shows up with missing pages from Clark\u2019s unfinished book, voices from the pages are reawakened. A portal from the past cracks open, transporting us back to German Romanticism and renowned pianist Clara Schumann. As she desperately tries to preserve the dignity of her husband, the brilliant composer Robert Schumann, he descends further and further into madness. Separated by a gulf of both time and space, Dawn and Clara grapple with grief and lunacy, and the hope that long-ago melodies can heal their broken hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This production is sponsored in part by the AthensWest Emerging Play Grant awarded to the theater program and sabbaticals for both Dr. Greg Partain and Professor Tosha Fowler. The production will feature a team of professional actors and a director working in residence at Transylvania. The production will include the live musical performance of Dr. Greg Partain as an essential component of the play&#8217;s concept and design. Professor Tosha Fowler will be helming the role of Clara as well as head producer.
