November 2004 - After watching the A&E DVD of "PRIDE and PREJUDICE" with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, I decided that this was the musical I wanted to write for my second year project in the BMI Musical Theater Workshop. Of course, then I read the book.

June 14th, 2005 - Presented several songs/scenes for my BMI end of the year presentation/audition for the Advanced Workshop. I was accepted!

March 21st, 2006 - Fund raiser sponsored by Cannery Works. Performed songs and scenes from Act One.

May 10th, 2006 - Reading of Act One at Michael Carson Studios.

February 19th, 2007 - Reading of complete show at West Side Dance Project.

2008 - Richard Rodgers Award Finalist

November 10th, 2008 - Equity staged reading at the McGinn/Cazale Theater of the revised complete show.

The future?- I am actively seeking producers and investors to produce "PRIDE & PREJUDICE - The Musical" on Broadway. If you are interested, please contact Lawrence Rush at lawrencebrucerush@yahoo.com
