A WELCOME FROM MAYOR FINKAM
On behalf of the City of Carmel, I am delighted to welcome you to Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre’s production of Pride and Prejudice! Our city's vibrant arts and cultural scene is a big part of what makes Carmel such a fantastic place to live, work, and visit, and Civic Theatre plays a key role in bringing that creative energy to life.
As the longest continuously operating community theatre in the United States, Civic Theatre has been a cultural cornerstone of Central Indiana since its founding in 1915, offering outstanding live entertainment to a broad and diverse audience. It is the largest community theatre in Indiana, and also ranks among the 10 largest in the country. Since 2011, Civic Theatre has been proud to call Carmel home, enriching our community and building a lasting legacy, and we are so fortunate to have Civic as one of the pillar organizations within our beautiful Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts.
Civic Theatre’s programs cater to all ages and interests. The Junior Civic program introduces young people, from toddlers to teens, to theatre skills and life lessons - such as discipline, self-confidence, and teamwork - that help build a stronger community. Each year, Civic delivers 90 performances and provides more than 500 opportunities for volunteers and professionals to participate onstage and behind the scenes in a high-caliber setting, with access to cutting-edge equipment and facilities—right here in the heart of Carmel!
I encourage everyone to enjoy the remarkable shows and educational programs that Civic Theatre offers. My heartfelt thanks go to the staff, crew, volunteers and patrons who make the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre such an invaluable cultural partner in our community.
Enjoy the show!
Mayor Sue Finkam City of Carmel
DIRECTOR'S LETTER
In the fall of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Civic's Executive Artistic Director Michael Lasley called me up and asked-- “Would you like to direct a live-streamed play?” A fully produced Civic production in the Tarkington Theatre with three television cameras sending the live performance to those who had purchased a ticket. Over the next five months we became theatre makers and television producers—telling a story through two mediums, with appropriate social distancing, masks, laugh tracks, and a myriad of other new and challenging details that we encountered as we embarked on this grand pandemic adventure. That show was Pride & Prejudice. With a brave and stellar cast, fabulous design, and a team of dedicated Civic artists it was a charming, joyful, and heartwarming production. It was at times frustrating, often a challenge, but always an exhilarating adventure that I feel so honored to have directed.
Four years have passed and well…we wanted an opportunity to present this delightful production to Civic’s larger audience—allow you to see the beautiful and hilarious world of Pride & Prejudice fully realized and live onstage. Kate Hamill’s adaptation is highly comic, contemporary in its perspective, and still honors the romantic and thoughtful classic novel. Our design team created a world that is bright and illustrative while honoring the aesthetic of Regency England. Both onstage and on the page, there is a sophisticated juxtaposition of cartoon and nuance, which highlights the timeless conversation between love, friendship, and family.
As you can see, for many reasons we are excited to present this play as part of Civic’s season. Building on our original ideas and experiences, we have been on a new adventure these past weeks and can’t wait to share our fresh approach to this classic story. I am so thankful to the 2021 cast and crew for their talents and equally thankful to my current collaborators for their excellence. Thank you for joining us and enjoy the show!

She has performed locally with Southbank Theatre Company, Carmel Community Players, Hendricks Civic Theatre, and The Hyperion Players. A long-time Austen fan, Alaine invites the audience to enjoy this raucous reimagining of Jane’s classic work, for “Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.” She thanks her partner and husband for managing the home front with their two young daughters, and the audience for supporting live theatre and timeless stories.
CARLY KIRBY (LIZZY BENNET)

Looking ahead, Daniel is eager for many more performances and the chance to continue developing his craft at Civic Theatre.
ELAINE ENDRIS SHE/HER (LYDIA BENNET)
Elaine Endris (Lainey) will be performing the role of the spunky Lydia Bennet in Civic’s production of PRIDE & PREJUDICE.

MICHAEL J. LASLEY (SOUND
STAFF BIOS
DESIGN)
Michael has been an integral part of Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre since 1990 and has held the esteemed position of Executive Artistic Director since 2016. As of January 8, 2024, he proudly marks 34 years of dedicated service to Civic, during which time he has contributed to over 240 remarkable productions. His journey at Civic commenced with Sound Design and Carpentry, and over the years, he has immersed himself in all aspects of Civic Theatre’s operations, spanning from production to administrative res ponsibilities, and even gracing the stage as a performer.
In addition to his broad responsibilities, Michael has served as the House Sound Designer for nearly every production since 1997. His talents also led him to the role of Producing Director for a remarkable 15-year tenure, where he skillfully managed budgets, production timelines, and a dedicated staff. Michael’s leadership extended to overseeing the logistical challenges of relocating Civic’s physical presence twice. Notably, he played a pivotal role in the design and construction team responsible for the Tarkington, Studio Theater, and support spaces during the move to Carmel, acting as the owner’s representative in crucial decision-making processes.
As a director, Michael has lent his creative vision to more than 38 productions at Civic since 2000, including memorable performances such as WAIT UNTIL DARK, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT (eight productions), THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, HAIRSPRAY, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, ELF THE MUSICAL, THE COLOR PURPLE and RENT.
Beyond his directorial accomplishments, Michael’s technical expertise shines through his designs, be it for sound, lights, or scenery. His artistic contributions have left an indelible mark on most theatres in Indianapolis, earning him recognition and accolades for his sound designs from The Indianapolis Star and the League of Indianapolis Theatres.
While primarily working behind-the-scenes, Michael has occasionally graced the stage, delivering compelling performances in roles like Larry in COMPANY, Arthur in LOVE! VALOUR! COMPASSION! and Czolgosz in ASSASSINS, all at the Phoenix Theatre. He took on the iconic character of Zach in A CHORUS LINE at Civic in 1993, and in a triumphant return to acting in 2015 after a 17-year hiatus, portrayed Caiaphas in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.
A true native of Central Indiana, Michael’s roots run deep. He attended Avon High School, IUPUI, and Ball State University, nurturing his passion for theatre and honing his skills. Michael and his lovely wife, actress Marni Lemons, who is a third-generation Civic performer, reside in a charming 130-year-old house in downtown Indianapolis. Their enduring partnership of 29 years is a testament to their shared love for the performing arts and their remarkable contributions to the theatre community.
