“Grande Prairie Live Theatre’s sixth play of our 63rd Season”
Adult themes for ages 16 +. Content Warnings: Tick, Tick… Boom! contains discussion and representations of the following themes: adult themes, HIV/AIDS, mental health, drug and alcohol use.
A ticking can be heard in the background symbolizing the increasing anxiety Jon feels as he speeds towards his 30th birthday. Jon is a promising young composer who feels like he needs to make something of his life before he hits this next big birthday. The only problem is his agent won’t return his calls, he can barely afford his rent, and he is coming up on one of the biggest creative milestones he’s had to date. He wonders if time would ever slow down, and if he will ever see the future he hopes for.
Tick…Tick…Boom! is a semi-autobiographical musical based on the life and early career of composer Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent. Jonathan himself performed in the original workshop at Second Stage Theater Off-Broadway in September of 1990. It is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theatre. Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors and a band, Tick, Tick… Boom! takes you on the playwright/composer’s journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster.
Everyone will love this youthful, endearing and thoughtful piece, and will surely embrace the universal ideal of holding onto your dreams through life’s most difficult challenges.

“Grande Prairie Live Theatre’s seventh play on our 63rd Season”
Grande Prairie Live Theatre is pleased to present this wonderful adaptation of the truly memorable novel by Jane Austen. Delightful characters. Beautiful period costumes. A lavish set.
Set in England during the approximate time of early 1800, five daughters of the Bennet family must be married off! Was ever a mother as put upon as Mrs. Bennet? Jane falls deeply in love with the wealthy Mr. Bingley, and it looks as if a romance is possible between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy is a very proud young man and he is shocked by mama’s vulgar matchmaking! He not only leaves for London, but also manages to take Mr. Bingley with him. Jane is heartbroken. Finally, Mr. Darcy returns to propose to Elizabeth. She promptly refuses and berates him for taking Mr. Bingley away and hurting Jane. The attraction between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy eventually triumphs over the pride of one and the prejudice of the other.
Why should someone see Pride and Prejudice?
Well, for starters, “Everyone gets their just desserts.” The novel delivers satisfying payoffs for every character, with witty twists and charming resolutions that leave you with a deep sense of satisfaction. It’s the perfect blend of clever satire, lovable characters, and sharp social commentary. If you’re looking for “the best kind of comfort food,” this is it. The kind that makes you laugh, swoon, and think all at once. It’s “hella’ amazing!” The beauty of Austen’s writing lies in her character development. The way she brings her characters to life with all their flaws and contradictions feels remarkably modern. You’ll fall for Darcy’s brooding charm just as you’ll love Elizabeth’s spirited independence. Every relationship—whether romantic or familial—is infused with humor, warmth, and complexity. Austen’s playful wordplay and razor-sharp dialogue create a rhythm that’s as engaging as it is delightful. Through her vivid portrayal of Regency-era England, Pride and Prejudice gives readers an insightful glimpse into the complexities of 18th-century life. Yet, it’s the timeless themes of love, misunderstanding, and personal growth that make this novel universally appealing. Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship unfolds with all the tension and sweetness of a modern romantic comedy, while the social satire still feels as sharp and relevant as ever.
In short, if you’re looking for a story that’s clever, lovely, funny, romantic, and full of heart, Pride and Prejudice is the book for you. It’s a perfect blend of timeless themes and modern sensibilities, making it a classic that never goes out of style.
