In Concert Fundraiser
A dramatic musical presentation of the Charlotte Brontë novel. Numbers: '"Children of God," "Forgiveness," "Sweet Liberty," and "Brave Enough For Love." The 7th Annual In Concert fundraiser will feature over 50 live instrumentalists and vocalists for two nights only.
The Spokane Civic Theatre tumblr publishes an interview with Yvonne A.K. Johnson:
Cheryl Johnsen: How is an in concert different from a musical?
Yvonne AK Johnson: The focus is on the music with 60 instrumentalists and vocalists. Everyone is on stage together which creates different production values as we have representational sets, lights, costumes and props but not to the full scale that we normally do when a musical runs five weeks.
Cheryl Johnsen: What made you choose Jane Eyre?
Yvonne AK Johnson: An in concert is first chosen as a production that we may not have the opportunity to produce for a full five week run for various reasons. There is a certain combination of the degree of music complexity that plays a factor as well as cast/orchestra size.
Cheryl Johnsen: What do you like about the music of Jane Eyre? Yvonne AK Johnson: The first time I heard the score I was mesmorized by the beauty of the musical phrasing and the intensity of the piece in general. (Cheryl Johnson)
2.  In Cumming, GA, a high school performance of the musical:
