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/
Pulp & Prejudice: A Defense of Romance Novels
April 19 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm PDT
Pulp & Prejudice is a hilarious one-woman show that passionately defends romance—romance novels, that is. Written and performed by local artist Jenny Noa, Pulp & Prejudice has been described as “a tightly corseted solo show about lovers and haters.” Noa turns a wide-angle lens on the subject of romance and the intense emotions the novels in particular inspire. Why is the genre vilified and beloved in equal measure? This comedic exploration of this complicated topic covers the origins of the author’s own obsessions, romance novels as social barometer, and larger questions about why we love what we love. All proceeds from this event will directly support Chapter 510’s free writing programs for Black, brown, and queer youth in Oakland. Tickets are available on a sliding scale.
