Pride and
Prejudice

Company is preparing
a new production for
this spring, Jon
Jory's theatrical
adaptation of Jane
Austen's Pride and
Prejudice. This is a
show that ties in
closely with PHS

one of the most
dynamic pieces of
literature in the
English language. It
will be presented in
our auditorium on
Friday, May 2nd &
Saturday, May 3rd at
7:30p.m., and on
Sunday May 4th at

marks the first time
