Four sisters, one attic, and a lifetime of dreams. Rediscover the magic of sisterhood in this bold, high-energy take on Little Women!
More Info
Experience Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic like never before in this imaginative adaptation by Heather Chrisler. Using a play-within-a-play structure, four actors bring the spirited March sisters to life through the power of memory and play.
As Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy grow from girls into women against the backdrop of the Civil War, they navigate love, loss, and the struggle to find their own voices. This stripped-down, high-energy production strips away the Victorian stiffness to find the heartbeat of sisterhood and the wild joy of storytelling. It’s a fast-paced, poetic, and deeply moving tribute to the stories that shape us.
