Please note that the organizers of this book club have recently received messages from several authors who were contacted by an imposter posing as a representative of our group: someone writing from the email address "sarah.jane.austine.book.club.nyc@gmail.com". This is not us! It is spam, apparently AI-generated, and we are dismayed to find ourselves its target. Indie sci-fi writers, we love you! But our area of focus continues to be Jane Austen.

About Mansfield Park
At ten years old, Fanny Price is taken to live at Mansfield Park as a "poor relation" of her wealthy aunt and uncle, the Bertrams. Dutiful and pious by nature, Fanny strives to earn a place in the family through the exercise of moral virtues — even as it becomes apparent that the Bertrams are very far from virtuous themselves. Mansfield Park is coming-of-age tale about a good girl opening up her eyes.About This Series

Sarah Rose Kearns is a playwright, performer, and lifelong Austen enthusiast. Her stage adaptation of Persuasion has appeared off-Broadway and at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company in Baltimore. Her one-act play Manydown, which imagines one important night in the lives of Jane Austen and her sister Cassandra, has been performed more than a dozen times in six US states, as well as in the UK and New Zealand — and was recently adapted as a short film by Prerna Ramachandra. Rose's third and latest play The Austens, a full-length dramatic comedy about the beloved novelist and her family, has had staged readings in New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and at Jane Austen’s brother’s house in Chawton, the English village where the play is set. In addition to her creative work, Rose is passionate about the work of building strong communities through art. Since its inception in 2020, she has served as a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) committee for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; and, since 2023, as co-Regional Coordinator for the JASNA New York Metropolitan Region. She is also the founding artistic director of The Holy Theatre, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization in New York City, with a mission to make plays and other gatherings that leave people feeling nourished, connected, and more able to be brave.About the Registration Fee
