Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Adapted for the stage by Heather Chrisler

Directed by Tara Branham

We are sorry to announce that the production of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has been officially cancelled. Ticket buyers will have the option of donating the cost of their tickets back to First Folio, after which we will provide you with a thank you letter for the donation which may be tax deductible (please check with your tax professional). This is the option which would help First Folio the most and help make it possible to weather this financial storm. Alternatively, First Folio will credit your account for the ticket price and you may apply that to a future ticket purchase.

Running time: 90 minutes, no intermission

Four young women, playing in an attic, bring to life the beloved Louisa May Alcott tale of the March sisters with all of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs that arise from helping to blaze new horizons for women in the 19th century. Come savor anew the tale of Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy in this WORLD PREMIERE adaptation, written by First Folio Artistic Associate Heather Chrisler. This is a show destined to become a hit around the nation…and you get a chance to be the first audience to see it! We are also holding a special raffle for audience members for a vintage Madame Alexander Doll. Scroll down to learn more!

Announcing the Retirement of Founding Executive Director David Rice & Ceasing Operations in 2023

Over two-and-a-half decades we have mounted over 80 productions, produced 14 world premieres, and 6 commissions. We have had more shows directed by women in the past 25 years than almost any other Equity theater in the Chicago area. We also led the way in opportunities for women designers, resulting in multiple Jeff Nominations and Awards for the many women who have worked here. Thank you all for your steadfast support through all these years. We will miss you!
