    The Wickhams – Jungle Theater

    Jungle Theater presents the rolling world premiere of The Wickhams – Christmas at Pemberley now through December 30th!

    I love seeing behind the scenes, don’t you? Especially when it’s a story that you wish would never end. The first time I saw Pride & Prejudice, it took my breath away. I wanted to know more, did Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy live happily ever after? Did the rest of the Bennet sisters…Jane, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia? Last year, I was so excited that Jungle Theater continued the story with Miss Bennet. Again, I wanted to know more and thankfully, Jungle Theater delivered!

    This year, the story continues with The Wickhams, giving us a peek “downstairs” in the Darcy kitchen, where the servants are preparing for the holidays and the arrival of their guests.

    All good things happen in the kitchen, right? 😉 We learn family secrets and more about the complexity of the sister’s relationships and their loyalty to each other. We get to watch young love grow and the beginning of new dreams. We get to see how when someone believes in you and doesn’t hold you back, how your whole world can change and grow.

  • She was…

    She was…

    Processed with VSCO with g4 preset

    She was.

    It’s the middle of the night. She can’t sleep. She lies awake and her demons haunt her. She tells herself over and over to let them go. She prays. She dozes off then jolts awake. The recurring dream. Panic. Sweat. Heart racing fear. She takes in deep breaths trying to slow her heart, she wonders if it might actually beat out of her chest. She tries to swallow, her throat sore from trying to scream. She remembers. She was in the air, flying across the room and then….the explosion, her body breaking, emotions scattered into tiny pieces. She remembers his hands imprinted on her chest. She wraps her hands around her chest giving herself a hug.

    She takes a deep breath and realizes she is still on this journey. 

    She remembers.

    She was.

    She is.

    She is tenderly picking up each shattered piece, giving it love and putting it back in place. She knows that part of her is stuck in this moment. She is going to heal. She is going to finally release it.

    She is finding herself. She is learning to listen to her soul. She is finding HER path.

    She is learning to trust herself.

    She is in a room with beautiful, inspiring women. She is going to write her story.

    She started.

    She is.
