“Guest director Gabrielle Bauman helms a delightfully sophisticated presentation of Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s timeless comedy centered on family, class, gossip, manners and romance…close-knit sisters leaning into the possibility of love while growing to understand the power of restraint.”

- Russell Florence Jr., Dayton Daily News
“An actress herself, [Bauman] excels in pulling out the personal parts of the characters in the cast…The comedic timing of the show felt impeccable, as it combined just the right amount of awkwardness and wittiness. …As a Jane Austen enthusiast, you must allow me to tell you how ardently I loved this production.”

- Maggie Fipps, Cedars

Rehearsal - "Emilie: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight"

"The Toronto production is directed by emerging director, Gabrielle Bauman, who, along with the show's movement director Anikka Hanson, create a metaphysical world of astronomy, lust and Baroque era court life.
