Non-JASNA Events
The events listed below are a small selection of upcoming events that may be of interest to Janeites. These events are not organized by JASNA or its Regions.
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.
