Little Women, Theatre Cedar Rapids, 2021

Adapted by Heather Chrisler and directed by Saffron Henke.

Enjoy the heartfelt retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel in a charming outdoor setting. In this adaptation, four actors in an attic use found objects from across time to create scenes of love, loss, and the ever-glowing warmth of the March family hearth. Jo goes on a journey of artistic self-discovery and coming of age as she struggles to become the writer she longs to be amid the classic triumphs and troubles of Meg, Beth, Amy, and even Laurie.
