Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women

Kentucky Shakespeare brings a fresh take on a beloved classic to the Actors Theatre stage with this Louisville premiere of *Little Women*. Playwright Lauren Gunderson's adaptation stays true to Louisa May Alcott's story while bringing an energetic, joyful spirit to the stage. The production follows the real-life March sisters—witty Jo, beautiful Meg, gentle Beth, and spirited Amy—as they navigate growing up in 19th century New England while their father is away at war, guided by their devoted mother Marmee and their lively neighbor Laurie. This is a wonderful choice for families who love classic literature and character-driven stories. The play captures timeless themes of family bonds, determination, and following your dreams, making it engaging for both longtime fans of the novel and those discovering the story for the first time. Tickets are $30 per person. Check the Kentucky Shakespeare website for the full performance schedule and to purchase tickets.
