Too Many Daughters

Our first ever Junior High Production this fall will be Too Many Daughters: A Jane Austen Parody to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth! In this witty one act play, the Ashworth daughters (of which there are twelve - or is it thirteen?) struggle to find suitors that will meet their mother's high standard. Her standard, of course, being that they must be filthy rich. Their task is made all the more difficult because their choices are so limited, due to the high number of potential suitors who have been killed when their horses fell on top of them. In the meantime, they must fend off unwanted proposals, snooty cousins, and the dreaded Dowager Countess. With two performances and a special tea to inaugurate St. Cecilia's newly renovated theatre lobby, this production promises to be a joyful and fun filled ode to the beloved author!
