Enjoy a one-woman show about the life of the famous author, Jane Austen. Presented by Kristin Hammargren. Discovering Austen takes place in the dressing room of an actor who has been cast as Jane Austen herself. Still searching for the essence of her character only hours from opening, she explores Austen’s writing in an attempt to find the author in the pages of her novels and letters. Discovering Austen is a wonderful opportunity to see Austen’s characters and the author herself come to life.
