It is a truth universally acknowledged, that single theater in possession of a good script, must be in want of an audience. Join us at CSz Philadelphia as we celebrate the 20 year anniversary of our favorite, already pretty gay, period romance with a comedic staged reading!


PRIDE & Prejudice is your queer parody of the infamous Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. You’ll see the iconic 2005 lovebirds in a brand new way, filled with laughs and hilarity that’s not to be missed! If you love the movie, you’re going to loooooove PRIDE & Prejudice. If you’ve never seen the movie, then let this special event tarnish it forever. If you liked Bridgerton, well, close enough!


Come in COSTUME for a chance to win BEST DRESSED at the Netherfield ball! No pressure, but strongly encouraged, like finding the right marriage so you don’t end up 27 with no money and no prospects.


We’ll take your suggestions to make each show a never-before-seen viewing. Bring forth your friends, your lovers, your exes, your great great great aunts who also are lovers, just bring somebody to enjoy the show with you!


Written & Directed by Jake Lucas. Featuring: Sarah Stryker, Jasmine Jiang, Vida Manalang, Kelsey Hébert, Kristin Finger, Liz Crino,
Sarah LeClair, and Andy Moskowitz.
