FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF MARIN THEATRE COMPANY Welcome back to Marin Theatre Company! After 20 months without live theatre, I can’t begin to tell you how amazing it is to have you back in our beloved Boyer Theatre. Everyone at MTC is incredibly proud of the digital work that we were able to bring you during the pandemic—The Catastrophist by our Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s National Playwright in Residence Lauren M. Gunderson, the multi-media Brilliant Mind by Mill Valley’s own Denmo Ibrahim, and American Dreams by Leila Buck—all of which were seen around the country and across the globe. But nothing compares to having you back in this intimate theatre for the experience of sharing the world premiere of a new play. And what a new play to welcome you back! The final installment in Lauren M. Gunderson and Margot Melcon’s effervescent Christmas at Pemberley trilogy—Georgiana and Kitty. This third chapter in the series includes everything you’ve come to expect from our visits to Jane Austen’s amazing world—a phenomenal ensemble cast of characters, comedy, music, romance, just a dash of impending tragedy, and, of course, the heart of this amazing trilogy—love and family. I want to extend a huge thank you to our playwrights, Lauren and Margot, for ensuring that this premiere was able to happen here at MTC. This journey has been five years in-the-making and I’m honored it continues tonight. With this production we are also welcoming many familiar artists back to our theatre—director Meredith McDonough, designers Fumiko Bielefeldt, Madeleine Oldham, Nina Ball and Wen-Ling Liao and actors Adam Magill, Laura Odeh, Lauren Spencer, and
