SENSE & SENSIBILITY to Open Sierra Stages 2025 Season
Performances will run from March 6 - 29 at the Nevada Theatre in historic downtown Nevada City.

Sierra Stages will continue its tradition of bringing innovative theater to Nevada County with Kate Hamill's critically acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen's "Sense & Sensibility," playing March 6 - 29 at the Nevada Theatre in historic downtown Nevada City.
This playful new adaptation of the beloved Austen classic follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father's sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. The production transforms Austen's classic novel into a comedic and theatrical romp that dazzles audiences while remaining true to the spirit of the original work.
"Kate Hamill's adaptation brings a fresh energy to Austen's story while preserving its wit and romance," says director Scott Gilbert. "Our production embraces the play's innovative staging and physicality, creating a dynamic experience that will delight both Austen enthusiasts and newcomers to her work."
