Sense and Sensibility

2012-2013 Mainstage Season

The Story

When their father’s death leaves two sisters with uncertain prospects, they must navigate the unpredictable seas of courtship with only their hearts to guide them. The course of true love winds through flirtation, folly, scandals and secrets as reserved, sensible Elinor and romantic, impulsive Marianne attempt to find their way in the world. This lovely, intimate adaptation of Jane Austen’s first novel is a charming journey through hope and heartbreak as two young ladies find that when sense and sensibility meet, love can’t be far behind.
