Little Women

We absolutely loved producing this show. For a program that is all female or where male numbers are low, this gives actresses an excellent chance at some fabulous roles. It conveys the funny and heartwarming aspects of the beloved story of Little Women, and while only covering a year of the storyline, it has an excellent beginning, middle and end. Lots of humor to balance some of the drama. Our audiences loved this show, and we had a packed house for the entire weekend!

Great adaptation. The all female cast works wonderfully.

This play is capable of being staged on a very limited budget and an inadequate stage Ñ our performance was proof of that! The staging is comparatively easy Ñ perfect for a young director with a limited group of performers Ğ like me!

Little Women is a wonderful play, brilliantly written for an all-female cast. It is great for young actresses to have a first chance in a "starring role."

My cast fell in love with the script and embraced it. There was enough comic relief to keep the audience involved. Even the smallest roles had their moments; it was a great success.

This is a tremendous play for many reasons: it is a challenge due to the lines; it is very accurate to Alcott's work; it is an added bonus for places where casting males is difficult; is has easy sets and props.

Little Women is a wonderful script to give young actresses a taste of a lead role. My students have consistently loved this play. The script is adapted wellÑit covers all of the classic moments of the story without requiring a vast amount of set changes. Perfect for a small stage!

A touching play about sisterhood and the many phases girls go through growing up!

This play was excellent to use with high school girls. It was cleverly done for an all-female cast. The girls had a fantastic time performing, and the audience loved it. There was the right mix of humor and drama.
