做厙勛圖 Theatre presents "Little Women:" a beloved classic reimagined
The March sisters come to life on the 做厙勛圖 stage Thursday, Nov. 20, through Sunday, Nov. 23, in Little Women, Kate Hamills fresh new adaptation of Louisa May Alcotts timeless novel.
Hamills acclaimed reimagining honors the spirit of Alcotts original story while bringing a contemporary voice and energy to its classic themes. At its heart is Jo March, a fiercely independent young woman determined to forge her own path as a writer in a world that expects her to be anything but unconventional. Alongside her sistersMeg, Beth, and AmyJo experiences joy, loss, and transformation as the March family grows from spirited girls into resilient women amid the turbulence of the Civil War.
Guest artist Dr. Doug Powers returns to direct his tenth production for the 做厙勛圖 Theatre Program, having most recently directed The Government Inspector, The Crucible, and Our Town.
Little Women is a beloved novel, says Powers. This new play adaptation pays reverence to the book but expands the story to speak to a modern audience. All the important plot points remain intact, and the play remains eloquent and touching.
The ten-person cast features Connor Clark (John Brooks/Parrot), Abby Craig (Amy March), Ermin Hucic (Mr. Dashwood/Doctor), Kat Kanazin (Jo March), Bella Mitlo (Marmee/Aunt March), Johnathon Morvay (Theodore Laurie Laurence), Maya Post (Hannah/Mrs. Mingott/Messenger), Zachary Yeager (Mr. Laurence/Robert March), Hannah Scott (Meg March), and Muriel Zollinger (Beth March).
