Sense and Sensibility.. and Margaret (Aug 28 – Sept 6)

Bluegrass Players:
Sense and Sensibility… and Margaret
By Rebecca Gellott (based on the novel by Jane Austen)

Presented by The Bluegrass Players
Performances: Aug 28 – Sept 5

Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility gets a fresh, theatrical twist—told through the eyes of Margaret Dashwood, the youngest sister and an aspiring novelist. From a café in the early 1800s, Margaret guides us back through her family’s story as Elinor and Marianne face love, loss, and life-changing choices—each in her own very different way: sense and sensibility.
With a large, colorful cast and quick-moving scenes that shift between “present day” and the Dashwoods’ past, this adaptation delivers romance, humor, and heart while celebrating the power of storytelling.

Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Denver, Colorado
