Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Elizabeth (Lizzy, played by senior Alex Wiebe) as she deals with the struggles of being a woman in 1939 America. Mrs. Bennet (played by senior Sam Scott) is fiercely dedicated to seeing that her girls marry well so that they have no financial worries. But her daughters, particularly Lizzy, have ideas of their own and view Mrs. Bennet's ways as old-fashioned. The rest of the cast is rounded out by seniors Rosalie Phillips (Jane Bennet), Emma Picht (Charlotte Lucas), Anna Hollweg (Aunt Rose), Jasper Solt (Rodney Collins); juniors Noni Akintunde (Uncle Gardiner); sophomores Elizabeth Javorsky (Mary Bennet), Katie Doherty (Lydia Bennet), Josie Carlson (Marji the maid); and freshmen Abby Poulos (Kitty Bennet), Cayla Wilson (Anna Lucas), Emma Young (George Wickham), and Kate Haffke (Caroline Bingley).
