Based on the beloved life and legacy of Louisa May Alcott, this vibrant musical follows the adventures of the March sisters: the romantic Meg, the timid Beth, the playful Amy, and the fiery, ambitious Jo. When Jo aspires to be a writer but struggles to find her voice in a world of disinterested publishers, a challenge from the soulful Professor Bhaer changes everything. To succeed, she must look inward, weaving a tapestry of the joys, heartaches, and triumphs of growing up in Civil War America.
Join us for a night sure to be filled with laughter, tears and joy.
