Pride & Prejudice

Camp Thorpe, in partnership with Amplified Arts, produced a community theatre production of Pride and Prejudice, adapted by Andrew Davies from Jane Austen's classic novel. This production, based on the popular 1995 BBC mini-series, was in honor of Austen's 250th birthday and will bring the beloved characters and timeless story to life on stage. 

The show ran from October 23 to October 25 for a weekend in Plainfield, NH, at the historic Maxfield Parrish Set Town Hall. This venue, with its profound cultural relevance, provides a fantastic backdrop for our production. A portion of the ticket proceeds from this weekend went to support the ongoing preservation efforts of the Maxfield Parrish stage set, a cause that will resonate with our audience.

The production then took up residence at the Brandon Town Hall and recreated the experience on October 31 and November 1 to benefit Camp Thorpe. This 99-year-old summer camp aims to provide a joyful, inclusive experience for teens and adults with developmental disabilities in the beautiful Green Mountains of Vermont. A portion of the ticket proceeds benefits the scholarship program, which helps keep camp affordable for Vermont campers —a cause that will inspire your support.

The cast members hailed from New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York City, brought a unique blend of talent and passion to the production. From local novice talent to seasoned professionals, each actor had a unique story and a shared love for the arts.

Amplified Arts, an award-winning production company founded in NH, will mark its 21st production with this piece, as well as its second Austen production. Most recently, AMP produced an award-winning production of Hedda Gabler by Ibsen on the Maxfield Parrish stage set in Plainfield, NH.
