Improvised Jane Austen

Improvised Jane Austen tells a tale, on the spot, in the style of the most beloved 19th century authoress. In each original story, you may be introduced to headstrong heroines, steadfast suitors, meddling mothers, charming cads, auspicious aunts, silly sisters, boisterous brothers, verbose vicars, fastidious fathers, and any number of Austenesque auteurs! The cast is entirely female, non-binary, and non-conforming identified folk. Empowering the performers to speak truths that easily transcend from Austen's era directly to our own. 

Visit the Improvised Jane Austen website for more information.

Devoney Looser Talk at New York Public Library

Devoney Looser will be discussing her new book, Sister Novelists, at a free, in-person event at the New York Public Library's main building in Bryant Park. The book is a biography of Jane and Anna Maria Porter, two authors who were contemporaries of Austen but largely forgotten today even though their fame exceeded Austen's in the 19th century. In addition to introducing readers to these fascinating sisters, the book provides a crucial glimpse of British literary culture during Jane Austen's lifetime, its fraught gender politics, and the perils of "daring to be an authoress."

New York Metro Region Co-RCs Sarah Rose Kearns and Fran Winter will meet any interested members at Le Pain Quotidien on 40th Street (near Sixth Avenue) for cup of tea before the event. They'll be there between 5-6 p.m.
