Sinclair\u2019s Theater department is presenting a production of Pride & Prejudice during the weekends of September 26 until October 4.<\/p>\n

\u201c The story of Pride and Prejudice is a romantic comedy that was originally written at the end of the seventeenth century… but the story is really modern,\u201d Kimberly Borst, assistant professor in the theater department.<\/p>\n

The casting for Pride & Prejudice happened at the end of last spring semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work five days a week… there\u2019s a whole huge team of people to make something like this get on its feet… we have been working on this all summer,\u201d said Borst.<\/p>\n

Borst said she knows who is going to audition, theater students must audition, but she does not know who is going to take on different roles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI am beyond excited about it, \u201c Borst said in response to her opinion of the cast for Pride & prejudice.
\n<\/p>\n

Ariqa Bowens, Theater Major, was cast in the role of Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist of pride and prejudice.<\/p>\n

She said that she has acted in seven to eight other productions but that this is her first main role in a production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never worked this hard not only to get a part but to maintain it to make the character clear. So they [the audience] can get a clear picture who Elizabeth is,\u201d said Bowens.<\/p>\n

She said she would love to further her acting career, saying that Elizabeth and her are very similar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cElizabeth Bennet, she\u2019s very head strong she opinionated … she\u2019s tough under a pretty face… But she does have a soft side, she has a really good heart,\u201d Bowens said.<\/p>\n

First time actor Shawn Diggs plays the role of Mr. Darcy, The reserved love interest of Elizabeth Bennet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my first play… it\u2019s been a good experience,” Diggs Said.<\/p>\n

He said that Borst and the rest of the cast have been very helpful in his adjustment to the stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMy cast mates have showed me a lot of love and pointers… things I could do,\u201d Diggs said.<\/p>\n

Diggs said that Mr. Darcy is much different than he is.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Darcy is kind of a tough guy, straight up
\nand down kind of guy, he doesn\u2019t really have the kind of personality that works well with others,\u201d Diggs said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some things I can pull out of him that I could find, maybe some similarities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Borst said she hopes students will come out and see the production.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome see this show it may sound a little bit old fashioned but it\u2019s actually a really contemporary story,\u201d Borst said.<\/p>\n
