Welcome to Getting Local With Jane, in which we list local events of interest to Janeites. Almost all of them this week are plays, and we hope our readers find something nearby. If there’s nothing near you this week, be of good cheer: you never know when Jane will come to your hometown.

July 9-10, 2011, Louisville, Kentucky: The fourth Jane Austen Festival will be held at historic Locust Grove, and we are sure will be as wildly successful as the first three! Festival activities include demonstrations, workshops, tea, a ball, and performances of Karen Eterovich’s “Cheer From Chawton” one-woman show. We unfortunately can’t make it this year but had a ball at the last two festivals–it’s worth traveling for.
