Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, adapted by Jon Jory and directed by Patricia Hausmann, Boerne Community Theater’s youth programs director, takes the BCT stage April 5-14.
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel, it 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.
Set in gossipy late 18th century England, the play is full of humor, emotional depth and bold theatricality. Sense and Sensibility examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart? This Teen Troupe production is co-produced by MSA Architecture. All tickets are $15. Reserve online at: http://www.boernetheatre.com or call the theater, located at 907 E. Blanco Road, at 830-249-9166.
“Jon Jory’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s, Sense and Sensibility has a freshness, speed and immediacy that, while always in sync with the humor, sentiments and manners of Austen’s late 18th century England country-and-city society, gives the storytelling a contemporary energy that is downright irresistible,” one published review states.
Teen Troupe is available to Boerne area teens between the ages of 13-19 who want to be involved in theater. The teen season consists of two full BCT productions, one in the fall, and one in the spring; participation in the Youth Conference each June; workshops; and opportunities offered in other performances and community service throughout the year.
Teens interested can contact Hausmann at 210-771-8809.
