Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women
- Adapted By Lauren M. Gunderson
- Directed by Joanie Schultz
JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More
From America’s most produced playwright comes another fresh adaptation of a familiar classic, just in time for the holiday season. Lauren Gunderson’s Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women takes the legendary novelist and places her at the center of her own story. Under the guidance of their beloved mother, the four young March sisters — tempestuous Jo, traditional Meg, gentle Beth, and spirited Amy — struggle to keep their family going while their father serves in the Civil War. This enduring celebration of sisterhood comes to life as a young writer makes space for herself and her stories in a society she’s determined to change.
