Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

A beloved coming-of-age drama

Jo March desperately wants to be a writer — an unusual dream for a teenage girl in 1860s Massachusetts. With her father away during the Civil War, Jo and sisters Meg, Beth and Amy, at home with their mother Marmee, remain joyful and dutiful despite their modest circumstances. As time passes, the women in the family grow ever closer as they navigate love, loss and new beginnings. Yearning for independence, Jo is emboldened by her sisters to channel her angst into her stories, eventually finding her place in the world as a published author. This new adaptation of the beloved classic celebrates the wonderful and trying transition from girlhood to adulthood.

Three things to know:

• This new adaptation by Lauren M. Gunderson puts author Louisa May Alcott at the forefront of the classic tale, using lines from the original novel to capture the complexity and charm of the characters.

Mawduucyada

This version of the show places the real-life author, Louisa May Alcott, into the forefront. We imagine Alcott’s process, through creative writing, of sharing the people she loves most with the rest of the world. If you were to write a story about people in your life that you love and appreciate, who would you include? What would you want the readers/audience to know about them?
