Fans of Jane Austen, romance, gossip, and beauty rejoice!
American River College is staging a new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility that promises to be closer to Austen's beloved novel than any play that has come before!
Set in the Regency era (known to many as the “age of Bridgerton”), this lively classic focuses on the Dashwood sisters: sensible, brilliant Elinor and sensitive, passionate Marianne. Fighting the norms of the era, both women hope to marry for love over money.... but the odds are truly against them.
From Austen's wonderful collection of hilarious, lovable characters to Gail Russell's delectable costumes to the humor and heartbreak of this popular story, you won't want to miss the premiere of this sparkling production!
