Lincoln Civic Auditorium

THE JANE AUSTEN SOIREE, Saturday, Dec 11, showings at 2 &amp; 7 p.m.Immerse yourself in the world of Jane Austen. So much more than a stage play, this holiday event on Saturday, December 11 at the Lincoln Civic Auditorium encourages audiences to arrive early dressed for the period (if you wish), enjoy refreshments, listen to the music, and watch or join in the ‘contra dance’ just like in a Jane Austen film. Patrons will hear fascinating historical information and social graces of the period as the Event Social Director visits with patrons, and you may even participate in an audience costume parade at intermission or win gift baskets from local merchants, nonprofits and makers. The main feature of the evening is its entertainment: top-notch professional actors in costume with blocking perform a lively on-script performance of the new play Persuasion: a holiday romantic comedy, inspired by the Jane Austen novel, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., which includes a post-show Q&amp;A to meet the actors, playwright, and the creative team.Full of rich, eccentric characters and a surprising amount of action, this show is a perfect holiday treat for the whole family.
