This fresh reimagining of Austen’s classic tale follows the Dashwood sisters as they navigate romance, ruin, and rigid social rules. Directed with immersive flair, the show fuses razor-sharp humor with heartfelt emotion, wrapped in STS’s signature playfulness. Expect live music, period costumes with attitude, and maybe a few musical surprises along the way. Runtime and cozy vibes make it the perfect indoor theater outing. Bonus: it’s Austen with sass.
At Sweet Tea Shakespeare, we believe a great show should feel like a house concert collided with a garden party. This production blends traditional storytelling with lively tunes and bold staging in a truly immersive experience.
