The residents of Little Women Town must tell the story of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women daily, living out the novel's most famous scenes in perpetuum. Each March Sister must play her designated role, but at what cost? When do they get to define the parameters of their own little lives for themselves? For all its sisterly joy, our March Sisters must confront whether Little Women Town is a gift or a prison. Written in collaboration with artists from WERDCC.
Sponsored by Prison Performing Arts & Washington University’s Prison Education Project.
