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.

We invite you to this one-time screening of PPA’s 2022 production of Margaret Atwood’s Hag-Seed, adapted for the stage by Stacie Lents and directed by Lucy Cashion. Originally performed inside Northeast Correctional Center, this production reimagines The Tempest within a men’s prison. With a modern Prospero and an ensemble of system-impacted actors, Hag-Seed explores themes of revenge, redemption, and the transformative power of theatre, offering a fresh and poignant perspective on Shakespeare’s classic. The screening includes a Q&A with Margaret Atwood and the cast, originally filmed during the production at Northeast Correctional Center.
