| Details | “Meanwhile, at Longbourn: a Pride and Prejudice Adaptation” will be performed at the Osborne Homestead Museum and Kellogg Estate gardens on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 21 — 23, 2024, with multiple performances each day. This event is suitable for ages twelve and up. Registration is required. Performing Arts Collaborative, LLC will be reprising the show again after last year’s success. With the resurgent popularity of Regency Era fiction and costumed events, the Osborne Homestead Museum and surrounding gardens will be the stage for Jane Austen’s popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice”. This live production offers an intimate and immersive experience that invites the audience into the home of the Bennet family, where the popular love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy will unfold in live scenes throughout the museum and gardens. The fourth wall separating the audience and cast will occasionally be broken for guests who arrive in costume. It is highly recommended that costumed and non-costumed guests accessorize with hand fans and sun protection for the outdoor scenes and the non-air-conditioned museum. Performances are scheduled for Friday, June 21st at 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.; Saturday, June 22nd at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 5:30 p.m.; and Sunday, June 23rd at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. This event is suitable for ages twelve and up.
