Jane Austen steps off the page and onto the stage at Homewood Library

For Homewood Library Program Director Ashley Sander, the evening production of “Improvised Jane Austen” on June 27 was something of a homecoming. She said she was introduced to the troupe’s masterful improvisation skills as part of her birthday celebration a few years ago. 

She loved the show so much, she immediately added it to the diverse list of classes, presentations, and experiences she curates for the library to present Homewood residents.
