Desert Foothills Theater, the North Scottsdale, Carefree, Cave Creek region's only LIVE local community theater, is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of the classic, Little Women: The Broadway Musical. Running from October 15, 2026 through October 18, 2026, this moving theatrical adaptation brings Louisa May Alcott’s cherished novel to life with a powerful score, soaring melodies, and heart-stirring performances.
Five shows will take place at the beautiful Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion, utilizing the stunning outdoor stage and garden area located in the heart of Carefree. This picturesque setting offers the perfect, enchanting location to experience the show.
Set against the backdrop of Civil War–era Concord, Massachusetts, Little Women captures the enduring spirit of resilience, family, and the pursuit of dreams. The story follows the independent, aspiring writer Jo March as she weaves tales of heroes and peril to entertain her family. Together with her sisters—Meg, Beth, and Amy—the March women navigate love, loss, and self-discovery under the guidance of their beloved Marmee.
"We are incredibly excited to bring this beloved classic to our community," said Sandi Carll, Director of the production. "At its core, this musical explores what it means to find your own voice and strength within the bonds of sisterhood. Performing under the stars at the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion adds an extra layer of magic to a story full of laughter, tears, and inspiration that will charm audiences of all ages.”
