Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Kentucky Shakespeare brings a fresh take on *Little Women* to the Actors Theatre stage with this Louisville premiere adaptation by celebrated playwright Lauren Gunderson. Rather than focusing solely on the famous March sisters as readers know them, this production explores the real lives of Louisa May Alcott's own sisters. The energetic staging captures their growth, relationships, and adventures with warmth and authenticity, centering on Jo's journey as a writer determined to make her mark. Set in 19th-century New England, the story follows Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy as they navigate growing up while their father is away at war, supported by their devoted mother Marmee and befriended by their spirited neighbor Laurie. This is a wonderful choice for families who love classic literature or want to introduce children to meaningful stories about resilience, creativity, and sisterhood. Tickets are $30 per person. The show runs multiple times throughout the month at Pamela Brown Auditorium within the Actors Theatre of Louisville.
