Emma in Missouri–Twice
September 24, 2008
We heard from Ellen Schwaller Goebel, the regional coordinator of JASNA’s Metro Kansas City Region. She shared the news that Missouri will enjoy not one but two upcoming stage productions of Emma.
The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis will stage a production of Paul Gordon’s musical adaptation of Emma from October 8 through November 2, 2008. Tickets start at $14.50 and are available by phone at 314-968-4925 or at the box office.
In a rather less ambitious but we are sure no less earnest effort, Blue Springs South High School in Blue Springs, Missouri, will present a stage adaptation of Emma on October 9-12. For more information, call the school at 816-224-1315.

Finally, two doses of Jane Austen close to home. I plan to attend both events (although the one in St. Louis is four hours away!).
Incidentally, Blue Springs South High School is where David Cook of American Idol fame went to school and performed in plays.
Melinda, the Metro KC Jasna group sends notice via email of all kinds of Austen business. If you’d like to hear from us, you can email me at jasna (dot) metrokc (at) yahoo (dot) com. Coming up next- a birthday celebration for Jane Austen, on December 14th.
And Mags, thanks again for the chance to spread the Austen word. Austenblog is my first stop online every day.
