Auditions for "Little Women" Show
Seeking actors for "Little Women" show. Please see the details below. About the project: Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story of the adventures of the four March sisters is brought to vivid musical life in Little Women. The Civil War is in full swing, and the March sisters -- Meg, the oldest, a romantic, the spirited and tomboyish Jo, sweet and loving Beth, and irascible, playful Amy -- live in Concord, Massachusetts with their Marmee while their father is on the battlefield. Filled with adventure (both lived and imagined), heartbreak, and a deep sense of hope, the struggle of these “Little Women” to find their own voices mirrors the growing pains of a young America. With buoyant, joyful melodies, memorable characters, and a big-hearted message, Little Women reminds us that “sometimes when you dream, your dreams come true.” Additional info: Show Dates: Thursday, February 6th @ 7:00pm; Friday, February 7th @ 7:00pm; Saturday, February 8th @ 1:00pm; Saturday, February 8th @ 7:00pm; Sunday, February 9th @ 3:00pm; Thursday, February 13th @ 7:00pm; Friday, February 14th @ 7:00pm; Saturday, February 15th @ 1:00pm; Saturday, February 15th @ 7:00pm; Sunday, February 16th @ 3:00pm; Thursday, February 20th @ 7:00pm; Friday, February 21st @ 7:00pm; Saturday, February 22nd @ 1:00pm; Saturday, February 22nd @ 7:00pm; Sunday, February 23rd @ 3:00 pm.
