Play Synopsis: Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women comes to life in Thomas Hischak’s stage adaptation, in which the March daughters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy— face triumph and trage-dy as they grow up, fall in love, and make their way during the Civil War era. This warm, touching, and crowd-pleasing American tale showcases the strength and courage of young women and the men who love and respect them. A narrator, Josephine (Jo) Marsh, gives background information to tie the scenes together. Jo, of course, is Louisa May Alcott. The four March daughters continue to live in the hearts of readers, and will touch the heart of every person in the audience.
