Little Women
by Marisha Chamberlain
Based on the story by Louisa May Alcott
Under the guidance of their beloved mother and housekeeper, the four little March sisters -- rebellious Jo, maternal Meg, timid Beth, and pampered Amy -- strive to keep things afloat while their father is away in the Civil War. In this skillfully written interpretation of the famed novel, even with difficulty, illness, and sibling strife looming, each girl attempts to discover her true identity.
"[Chamberlain’s Little Women] is a character melodrama, a play about good people discovering themselves, enduring hardships and even death, yet always strengthened by the security of family.”-St. Paul Pioneer Press
