Open mic night for Jane Austen works! Do you have a favorite quote, excerpt, monologue or dialogue from a Jane Austen novel? What would Jane Austen do? Read it of course! Jane Austen came from a literary family who would spend time reading their favorite works to each other. In the time before television and radio, books were the nightly entertainment!
This open mic night regale fellow Austenites or just curious community members in the joy of her work by performing and reading your favorite verses. Costuming is always encouraged! While countless film versions prove Austen's lasting appeal, but her exact words are what have made the stories truly unforgettable. Please note, original Jane Austen work only.
While enjoying the readings, there will be a Jane Austen book mark craft activity.
This event will be moderated by SUNY Adirondack's Distinguished Professor of English Nancy White.
Part of the Jane Austen: 250 Years of a Literary Icon series, this program celebrates the cultural impact of Jane Austen’s work.
