Reviews

Critics are saying...

"Thomas Ouellette's light-footed, virtuosically coordinated staging flows as smoothly as a ballet and has just the right amount of comic crackle." -- Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal [full review]

"Heartfelt laughs, engaging characters and Austen's delightful story that takes more twists and turns than a trip to 'Peyton Place'." -- Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel [full review]

"Deliciously fun… beautifully fashioned….canny and quick. You don't want to miss a word." -- Elizabeth Maupin, Maupin on Theater [full review]

"Orlando Shakes puts on staged performance of wildly popular Jane Austen novel" by Al Krulick, Orlando Weekly [full review]

Facebook Fans are saying...

Learn how to dance Regency style with the choreographer from Pride & Prejudice!  This is your chance to charm Mr. Bingley, fall in love with Elizabeth, lavish your partner with affections, or scandalously conduct indiscreet conversations with your friends and neighbors.  Shocking!

Choreographer W. Robert Sherry, an excellent beginner friendly instructor, will teach the regency style dances. No experience necessary and no partners required - the custom in the late 1700s was to change partners frequently – canned music, but it’s better than Mary Bennett on the piano. We suggest comfortable dress and shoes you can move in.

Our dance card will fill up quickly, so ask us to dance today!
