The Yavapai College Performing Arts Department unleashed its bold take on “Jane Eyre: The Musical” over six performances from April 14-23, 2023. Charlotte Bronte’s iconic literary heroine has long been regarded as a martyr but this show celebrates the fire and steel within the character as she remains resilient despite childhood abuse, poverty and heartbreak in 19th century England.
Directed by Dean of Performing Arts Dr. Craig J. Ralston, the play remained true to the spirit of the 1847 novel as the cast and crew created a powerful story of a woman fighting for freedom and fulfillment. Performances took place at the newly renamed Jim and Linda Lee Performing Arts Center on campus.
