The Minneapolis High School Drama Department is proud to present the play, Little Women, based on the beloved Louisa May Alcott Story. Show time is 7:30 PM on Friday March 8 & Saturday, March 9. Admission is $2.00 for students and $5.00 for adults. There are no reserved seats, so you may pay at the gate.
The play, written by Scott Davidson, is adapted from Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel. It is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Denver, Colorado.
This timeless and enduring classic follows the March sisters’ journey from childhood to maturity during the American Civil War. Audiences of all generations will enjoy acquainting — or reacquainting — themselves with the sisters: Meg, the eldest; Jo, the high-spirited tomboy; Amy, the self-centered beauty; and gentle Beth, as well as their beloved Marmee and Father. Together the March family learns to endure both good times and bad as they share the joys and pains of growing up. Interlaced with warmth, family loyalty, and traditional values, all these important events provide us with a better understanding of our own lives. Penned by Louisa May Alcott 140 years ago, this much-loved classic tale’s message is still relevant for audiences today.
Because of the large number of students who are participating, two different casts will present the play.
