Jane Austen Unscripted is a fully improvised play that brings the world of Jane Austen to life with your suggestions, and dare we say… participation. The always-new, charming, love-struck and hilarious production will be presented on the NEW outdoor garden stage in the courtyard at Garry Marshall Theatre.

Find yourself with a cup of English tea and treats amongst love-stricken ladies, dashing noblemen and charming cads. With your suggestions, be part of a fully-improvised play that unfolds right before your eyes. Every performance is signature. No show is alike. It is sure that the improvisation skill of IMPRO will have you laughing and cheering, gasping and gossiping. There are sure to be dilemmas and broken hearts, but true love is certain to triumph in this immersive afternoon of sheer entertainment! Join live musicians, delectable tea and treats and the company members of Jane Austen Unscripted: Tea At Pemberley, in a lush Regency experience in the blooming Marshall Gardens.  

Directed by Paul Rogan, Jane Austen Unscripted: Tea At Pemberley welcomes guests into an English garden setting with party table seating and all the trimmings. GMTea Experience Ticket holders are seated at tables closest to the action, and includes tea and treats curated by local shops and purveyors of wonderful things.

Jane Austen is a without a doubt one of the most enduring authors of her day. Her wit, societal examination, and ability to create some of literature’s most charismatic and poignant heroines sets the stage (literally) for a delightfully paced comedy that erupts minute by minute. 

Having only written six novels, now, Impro Theatre’s Jane Austen Unscripted series gives audiences the chance to not only imagine the other books she might have written, but create one on-the-spot. The company starts with audience suggestions and deftly creates a world of headstrong young women, brooding noblemen and eccentric relatives. With the foundation of mesmerizing courtship and manners that come undone, guests are treated to a unique story that just might rival one of Austen’s delicious novels.

Suggestions from audience create an imaginary world for every performance.


“Amazing! The troupe spins an entire play into comedy gold right before your eyes.”  -LA TIMES
