Summit High School presents Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility

Summit High School Theatre presents Jane Austen’s classic romance, SENSE & SENSIBILITY, November 16 - 18th

This Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 16, 17, and 18, at 7 pm, Summit High School Theatre will present the hilarity, charm, and gossipy fun of Jane Austen’s classic romance, SENSE & SENSIBILITY, in their Auditorium.

This lively adaptation of Jane Austen’s sparkling romance is full of comedic surprises and deliciously wicked social commentary, with the daring premise that true love unites both hearts and minds—and that women should be seen, heard and valued. Life takes a sudden turn when Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters lose their home, thrown out by their selfish half-brother. With no money to speak of, the marriage prospects for the sisters are bleak. When love—or what looks like it—comes calling for Elinor and Marianne, they are whirled into a tangle of gossip, scandal and unexpected fortune.

As SHS Director Anne Poyner shared with HTTV in this video here, Kate Hamill’s playful new adaptation of Austen’s beloved novel is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. (Video courtesy of HTTV www.httvonline.org)
