LATROBE, PA – The Saint Vincent College Players will perform “Pride and Prejudice,” adapted by Melissa Leilani from the novel by Jane Austin, at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 and 2 p.m. on Nov. 3.

The performances will be held in the Performing Arts Center of the Robert S. Carey Student Center on campus.

Saint Vincent students, faculty, staff and Benedictines will be admitted free with valid ID.

“Pride and Prejudice” is the story of Elizabeth Bennett, one of five sisters in a family of modest means, and her romance with the wealthy and enigmatic Fitzwilliam Darcy. Through a series of misunderstandings and revelations, Bennett and Darcy confront and overcome their personal flaws—pride and prejudice—and find love and mutual respect.

Fitzwilliam), an engineering major from Warren, Ohio; Mackenzie Shrum (Anne de Bourgh), an early childhood development major from North Huntingdon; and Nathan Shashura (ensemble), a music performance major from Latrobe.
