In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theater owner’s daughter.

PERRY

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Heritage Theatre, 2505 S. Highway 89, Perry

Arguably Jane Austen’s most famous work, “Pride and Prejudice” is beautifully adapted for the stage. The drama of high Victorian society married with witty humor leaves audiences swooning for the most riveting courtship in theatrical history. Before the merriment of marriage can begin, however, the proud Elizabeth Bennet must navigate her way around a stifling mother, impetuous sisters and completely unsuitable suitors. Adding to the endless complications, her would-be match, Mr. Darcy, has his own flaws to overcome. In the end, true love blossoms when pride and prejudice meet.

Performances: 7:30 p.m. Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays through Feb. 10

Tickets: $10-$12 at heritagetheatreutah.com/boxoffice.html or call 435-723-8392
