Casting Teen Performers for "Sense & Sensibility" Play
Seeking teens for "Sense & Sensibility" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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. Additional info: Auditioners should prepare a one-minute monologue. Auditioners may also be asked to do a cold reading of scenes and should be prepared to stay beyond the signed-up audition time. Callbacks December 11. Rehearsals: December 29-February 5, 2026 Performances: February 6-22, 2026 If interested, please apply.
2 roles
Romantic, impulsive, idealistic, passionate, artistic. Character Arc: Marianne embodies sensibility—a devotion to feeling and authenticity over prudence. She idealizes love and suffers deeply when confronted with betrayal and disillusionment. Motivations: To experience love as poetry, to live and feel without compromise. Deeply connected to Elinor but frequently clashes with her over emotional restraint. Her infatuation with Willoughby blinds her to the steady affection of Colonel Brandon.
Personality: Curious, observant, spirited, a bridge between her sisters. Role: Comic relief and innocence. Provides levity and childlike perspective amidst adult emotional drama. Actor Notes: Energetic and earnest, with touches of cheekiness.
