Only three shows remain of the Whitefish Theatre Company’s romantic classic “Sense and Sensibility”. Based on the beloved novel by Jane Austen, this funny and touching show has performances on April 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
A smash hit off-Broadway, Kate Hamill’s exuberant adaptation of “Sense and Sensibility” brings a comic, theatrical flair to Austen's perennial favorite. The Dashwood sisters - prudent Elinore and impulsive Marianne - find their world turned upside down after their father's death, which robs them of their wealth, social standing, and most importantly, chances for marriage. Mix in a few dashing love interests and a gaggle of gossipy socialites, the sisters must learn to mix sense with sensibility, their opposite temperaments, to find true happiness. Called “inventive, faithful, and clever”, this marvelous play will delight Austen fans and novices alike.
