The Greater Louisville Region of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) is pleased to announce that Karen Eterovich of NYC will perform her one-woman show called "Cheer from Chawton: A Jane Austen Family Theatrical" at the 4th Annual Jane Austen Festival.

Ms. Eterovich recently performed "Cheer from Chawton" at the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, England to rave reviews. "Eight members of Greater Louisville Region went on a Pride & Prejudice Tour and also attended the first weekend of the Jane Austen Festival in Bath this past September, but Ms. Eterovich performed the next weekend so we did not get to see her performance, said Bonny Wise, Regional Coordinator." "We are very pleased to introduce her to our festival," she continued.

Ms. Eterovich also wrote the play which is based on the life of the legendary novelist, Jane Austen, and highlights Austen's contributions to the world of literature, her relationship with her family and her adventures as a "flirtatious butterfly" in rural England. Eterovich created the piece after performing in a play about Jane Austen. Austen is best known as the author of Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, & Emma but others include Mansfield Park, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey.


Tickets for "Cheer from Chawton" are $10 in addition to the $10 admission fee of the festival. Other activities include a Regency Style Show, Regency Emporium, music, entertainment such as a duel between gentlemen, a fencing exercise, a ladies archery competition, shadow puppets and more, as well as workshops and a Grand Ball.

The festival is sponsored by the Greater Louisville Region of the Jane Austen Society and held at Historic Locust Grove located six miles from downtown Louisville at 561 Blankenbaker Lane. Advance reservations begin June 1. Order at this link.  www.jasnalouisville.com
