South Stage Presents Sense and Sensibility: Oct. 30-31, Nov. 1 at 7:30 PM
Enjoy Newton South’s first Fall Play video production recorded live outdoors and streamed to your home!

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.

$10 Individual Stream/$25 Family Stream

Volunteers Wanted for the Annual NSHS Bulb-Planting

Please volunteer for our annual fall bulb-planting on Sunday, November 1, 2020, from 2-4 pm. This is a fun, socially-distant, and mask-wearing community initiative to work together and plant bulbs of hope for better things to come in 2021. With ample space around the school grounds, you can come solo or bring your whole family with you. Come for the entire two hours or just twenty minutes or so to tuck the daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and snowdrops into the soil where they can root and surprise us all with spectacular springtime sensations.

If you can volunteer, please email shawna.conaghan77@gmail.com and katharina.elbert@yahoo.com.

We must therefore create a favorable environment that will encourage the flowering of our children’s natural gifts.  ~Maria Montessori
