When their father's death leaves two sisters with uncertain prospects, they must navigate the unpredictable seas of courtship with only their hearts to guide them.

This lovely, intimate adaptation of Jane Austen's first novel is a charming journey through hope and heartbreak as two young ladies find that when sense and sensibility meet, love can't be far behind.The original stage presentation of Sense and Sensibility premiered at the Northlight Theatre in Chicago, Illinois on March 10, 2011.
