SYNOPSIS
Picture
Sense and Sensibility
by Jon Jory
Directed by Suki
​Sisters Elinor and Marianne find themselves captivated by two very different men in this lively and dynamic adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel. Sensible Elinor is charmed by the quiet, bumbling goodness of Edward, while passionate Marianne is swept off of her feet by the dashing and mysterious Willoughby.  The sisters are forced to rely upon themselves and one another to weather their heartache and learn that when sense and sensibility meet, love can't be far behind.

Auditions: Dec. 27, 28 at 6:00pm
