Synopsis:
Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel comes to fresh life in this inventive, theatrical adaptation which follows as the March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – gather in the family attic. From making up fairy stories, writing for their pretend newspaper, and playing make believe, they graduate to scenes of love, loss, and – for Jo – artistic self-discovery, as they come of age against the backdrop of the American Civil War.

Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott
Directed by Rachel Alderman

Geva Insights
Geva Insights is a series of post-performance conversations with thought leaders, experts, and members of the community who contextualize or provoke more in-depth consideration of a play’s themes presented in Geva’s 24/25 season. It was conceived of as a unique opportunity to strengthen our connectivity to new and existing communities in our region.
