Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Set in 19th-century New England, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women follows the four March sisters—independent Jo (Kate Besworth), traditional Meg (Elizabeth Barrett), shy Beth (Ming Hudson), and vivacious Amy (Kaitlyn Yott)—as they navigate love, loss, and the difficulties of young adulthood during the Civil War. Guided by their wise and nurturing mother, Marmee (Erin Ormond), the March sisters find the strength to forge their own paths. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is an enduring story of friendship, romance, and personal discovery that has charmed generations.

Playwright Lauren M. Gunderson—one of the most-produced living playwrights in North America—has crafted a dynamic version of the timeless tale that brings the March family and Louisa May Alcott herself to life with creative staging and modern emotional insight. Gunderson captures the wit, warmth, and heart of Alcott’s novel and makes this classic story of family, resilience, and a determined young writer feel both nostalgic and contemporary.
