Sense and Sensibility

A Rather Uptight Georgian Rom-Com 

Are you ready for a whirlwind of feathered bonnets, dramatic letter-writing, and deeply repressed feelings? Then Jane Austen’s classic tale, Sense and Sensibility, gets the theatrical treatment that you need! Proving that heartbreak and bad weather were just as stylish in 1811 as they are now.

When the kind-hearted and newly impoverished Dashwood sisters—pragmatic Elinor and passionately romantic Marianne—are forced to relocate to a tiny cottage, they find themselves navigating the treacherous social waters of Georgian England. Looking for a man with a pocket full of coins and a house with at least three pillars on the front; balls, banquets and proposals await!

Join us for a glorious, witty romp through emotional extremes. With foolish societal satire, dazzling ballroom dances, and some rather joyful multi-rolling. This is the one show not to miss this summer!
