Fall 2024 Production: Little Women

Synopsis

Little Women, adapted by Thomas Hischak, from the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott, follows the lives of the four March sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—growing up in Civil War-era Massachusetts. The play beautifully illustrates the novel’s central themes of family and love as the sisters navigate the challenges of growing up, each with her distinct personality and dreams.

Jo, the independent and ambitious sister, aspires to be a writer; Meg seeks traditional domestic happiness; Beth is the gentle, musical soul; and Amy, the youngest, dreams of a more sophisticated life. In Hischak’s adaptation Josephine beautifully narrates the story that emphasizes the bond between the sisters while portraying their individual struggles with identity, loss, and societal expectations. The story’s timeless messages of sisterhood, resilience, and self-discovery remain central, making it a faithful and engaging version of the beloved novel.
