Pride@Prejudice was originally produced January 27 – February 5, 2023, at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre in Rockville, MD. The company then submitted a 50-minute cutting of the production for entry into the Maryland State Theatre Festival held February 11-12, 2023 in La Plata, MD. The Maryland State win allowed RLT to move forward to ESTA (Eastern States Theatre Association) to compete. ESTA is sponsored, in part, by the American Association of Community Theatres (AACT).
