WCPR Children's Theatre presents Little Women

For the summer of 2026, WCPR’s Straight to the Stars Youth Theatre will produce Kate Hamill’s popular, modern stage adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, Little Women, for their annual non-musical production. Jo March isn’t your typical Victorian lady. She’s indecorous and headstrong, and one day she’s going to be a great American novelist. As she and her sisters grow up in the middle of the Civil War, they strive to be brave, intelligent and imaginative young women. But as adulthood approaches, each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society’s expectations. In a war-torn world defined by gender, class and personal tragedy, Jo March gives us her greatest story: that of the March sisters, four dreamers destined to be imperfect little women. In classic Kate Hamill fashion, a literary masterpiece is updated and refreshed for the modern age, with focus given to the strong, seldom well-behaved women who make history. Bursting with humor and emotional intelligence, this Little Women speaks across centuries and generations.
