Online Events Calendar
One of the (few) bright spots of the pandemic is the number of virtual programs — talks, exhibits, tours, discussions, and more — available online, removing the requirement of in-person attendance. The Jane Austen/Regency world has a growing number of online events of interest to our community. We’ve set up this Online Event Calendar to help you find some of them. Please check the listings and be sure to convert the event times (which are local to the organizers) to your location. To submit an event for the calendar, email news@jasnanorcal.org Note: JASNA regional events are also listed on the organization’s web site: http://jasna.org/conferences-events/
JASNA Southwest A Star Is Born: A Truth Universally Acknowledged
May 3 @ 8:30 am – May 4 @ 5:00 pm PDT
2025 is the anniversary of numerous filmed adaptations of Austen’s novels: the 85th anniversary of MGM’s 1940 version of Pride and Prejudice starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier; the 45th anniversary of the Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul production; and the 30th anniversary of Clueless, Emma Thompson’s Sense and Sensibility, Sony Picture Classics’ Persuasion, and the beloved BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, and the 20th anniversary of the Keira Knightley/Matthew Macfadyen version.
To celebrate these milestones, our Southwest Region is planning a multi-day Gala the first weekend in May 2025. The theme is “A Star is Born: A Truth Universally Acknowledged.” https://jasnasw.com/events/upcoming-events/
