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!
