But will the imaginative and mischievous girl win over the hearts of her reluctant parents?

Synopsis:
A new crop of American thespians are eager to start L.A.V.A.'s Summer Drama Program in the remote English moors -- so much so that no one seems to care that the classes are only after midnight, there are wolves constantly howling in the distance, and their guide is a zombie. Not to mention that all their teachers are strangely pale and insistent that the first production of the season is "Dracula." Maybe Jenn, with the help of fellow student Katherine Helsing, can get to the bottom of what is going on behind the scenes at this lunatic drama school.

Synopsis:
All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense -- but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all? (A one-act version of this play,Darcy and Elizabeth, is also available.)

Prom goes from time-honored tradition to all-out brawl in a fast-paced event where it's a race between the guys and girls to find the perfect date. Both teams have twenty-four hours and plenty of obstacles from a hot dog eating competition to backstabbing friends, from overly picky contestants to dueling coaches. Will matches be made in time for the big dance? A hilarious and, yes, even romantic take on a high school rite of passage.
