CAT presents ‘Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley’ from Nov. 29 to Dec. 15

Nov 15, 2024 | 1:14 PM

Central Alberta Theatre (CAT) is set to present Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, a production which will help you rediscover romance.

Show dates run from Nov. 29 to Dec. 15 at the CAT studio theatre (4214 58 Street).

“In the era of Bridgerton,” say directors Wanda Oler and Robyn Jeffrey, “who doesn’t want to dress up and watch people fall in love? Come be transported to a different time and place. You are all invited to Pemberley Manor for Christmas!”

According to CAT:

Set two years after Jane Austen’s classic novel, Miss Bennet focuses on Mary Bennet, the middle sister who never quite fit the mold. As her family gathers at Pemberley for Christmas, Mary hopes to break away from her dutiful role. The arrival of an unexpected guest offers Mary the chance for a romance of her own—one that could finally make her the heroine of her story.
