Our September meeting was unusually creative, interactive and delicious! Led by Professor Elizabeth Meadows of Vanderbilt University's English department and the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities, we discussed the importance of place to Jane Austen's novels and considered how specific characters would describe their spots in the world.
The afternoon capped with an exercise re-thinking Austen stories in our own places -- Hollywood, take note!
We are grateful to our generous host, Actors Bridge Ensemble, for a perfect location. Founded in 1995, Actors Bridge is a professional theatre company and an actors' training program that has been based at the Darkhorse Theatre since 2015.
