JANE AUSTIN CLASSIC: The early 19th century classic comes to the stage. Photo Credit: Kevin Berne

In a society where marriage was closely tied to money and social status, the sensible Elinor and sensitive Marianne Dashwood champion two distinctively different perspectives on love, womanhood and marriage. Under the masterful direction of Robert Kelley, this musical based on Jane Austen’s all-time classic abounds with the author’s signature emotional depths and hilarious sidekicks. With beautiful melodies by Tony-nominated Paul Gordon, the Dashwood sisters’ love stories come to the Bay on a gentle breeze from the rolling green hills of Regency England.
