Sense and Sensibility
Written by Kate Hamill, based on the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Brendon Fox
March 6 - 8, 2026
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality.
This event is FREE and OPEN to the Public. RSVP now on Eventbrite.
