Audition Announcement for SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

THE STORY: A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel 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, with a fresh female voice, 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?

Opens: March 8, 2024

Closes: March 17, 2024

Auditions: January 15 & 16, 2024 7 PM At Dayton Playhouse

This is not your mother’s Jane Austen.  Please come prepared to play. If you have a British accent, bring it with you however, it is not required for auditions.  Looking for actors who are willing to have fun, learn, explore, work as part of a true ensemble and maybe get your hands dirty along the way.
