SENSE & SENSIBILITY
By Kate Hamill
Based on the novel by Jane Austen
Set in late 18th century England, this modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the Dashwood sisters — reserved Elinor and expressive Marianne — after their father’s sudden death leaves them without money and socially vulnerable. Gossipy, humorous, and filled with emotional depth, this witty play adapted by Kate Hamill is a funny and thoughtful examination of the sacrifices and consequences born from societal pressures, and what can happen when you choose to ignore them.
“…an unconditional delight…invigorating…a bouncy, jaunty take on Austen…remains remarkably true to the values and priorities of its source. The classic Austen preoccupations with real estate, income, class, reputation and equilibrium in life are all rendered brightly and legibly here.” — The New York Times.

You Can’t Take It With You
A Comedy in Three Acts
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
The Sycamore clan are a glorious collection of contented eccentrics with no regard for social norms. But when their daughter Alice falls for the straight-laced boss’s son, the two worlds hilariously collide. Experience this heartwarming, madcap classic that reminds us to love boldly, embrace joy and live life on our own terms.
Considered one of the most popular and successful plays of modern times, the Tony Award-winning play ‘You Can’t Take It With You’, written by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, is a celebration of individuality, love, and the belief that happiness cannot be measured by material wealth.
“It’s an over-the-top, old-fashioned comedy and feel-good crowd-pleaser.” – AM New York
