Presenting our 2007-20

  Little Women

   based upon the novel by Louisa May Alcott

Written in 1867, The Little Women is Louisa May Alcott's coming-of-age story about the March sisters.  Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth keep their mother Marnee in high spirits while Father March is away with the Union Armies.  Despite the girls' best efforts, their family continues to know difficult times.  Pretty Meg becomes discontented with the children she teaches; boyish Jo loses her temper regularly; while the golden-haired schoolgirl Amy is inclined towards affectation. Meanwhile Beth, who is gentlest among them and always keeps the house, contracts Scarlet Fever.    The story tells of their progress into young womanhood with the additional strains of romance, Beth's terminal illness, the pressures of marriage and the outside world. This is the story of their growing maturity and wisdom and the search for the contentedness of family life.
