“Little Women” tells the classic story by Louisa May Alcott of the adventures of the four March Sisters and their steadfast mother, Marmee, as they try to survive while their father and husband is serving in the Union Army during the Civil War.
“Even if you are not familiar with the story,” says Ken Buswell, the director, “you will fall in love with the characters and the performers. There will be laughter, tears and a sense of wonder at all of the turns life brings.”
