Sense and Sensibility at the Prospector Theater

Two sisters. One inheritance lost. Every feeling on the line.

Focus Features and Working Title hand Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility to director Georgia Oakley, and the result is charming, witty and a lot more relatable than the costumes suggest. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles play the Dashwood sisters, with Caitriona Balfe and Frank Dillane alongside them. It is a story about love, money and sisterhood, and it runs two hours and 12 minutes.

Showtimes. Thursday, October 15 at 4 and 7pm. Friday through Sunday at 1, 4 and 7pm. Monday and Tuesday at 4 and 7pm. Wednesday, October 21 is Open Caption Day, with captions on screen at 1, 4 and 7pm. Closing Thursday, October 22 at 4 and 7:15pm. Times can change, so check the showtimes page before you go.

Good to know. Rated PG for some thematic elements, partial nudity and brief violence. Tickets are $15 for adults and $13 for kids 11 and under. The theater suggests arriving 30 minutes early to grab concessions and good seats.

Every ticket does some good. The Prospector is a nonprofit theater built to employ adults with disabilities, who the theater calls Prospects. They greet you and seat you before every show. Closed caption devices and descriptive audio headsets are available at every first-run show.

Make a night of it. The Heads Up Café inside the theater pours coffee, beer and wine, and the ceiling is covered in pennies hand-placed heads up by the Prospects. Downtown Ridgefield's Main Street restaurants are a short walk away.
