Mansfield Prep by Gina Montet

Welcome to Mansfield Prep, the elite boarding school where the age-old battle of the haves and have-nots gets a modern twist. At Mansfield Preparatory Academy, the prestigious and privileged student body reigns supreme—until Fanny Price arrives. A scholarship student thrust into a world of opulence and hidden agendas, Fanny must navigate a maze of ambition, romance, and betrayal. This exciting emotionally charged play reimagines the biting social commentary of Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park for the new era.

Mansfield Prep will be developed over a week-long process which concludes with a developmental reading on Zoom on June 7th, the final day of the residency.

The reading can be watched live on Friday, June 7th at 7:00pm on Zoom. https://go.fiu.edu/82112410705 

The reading will then be available to stream on our YouTube page through the summer. https://www.youtube.com/fiutheatre
