Program Description

Event Details

Poet and author, abolitionist and nurse, patriot and suffragist— Louisa May Alcott was far more than the author of "Little Women." This dynamic first-person portrayal invites you to meet Alcott at the height of her health and success. Through her own words and writings, we glimpse the hopes, heartbreaks, and experiences that shaped her life and inspired her novels, short stories, and poetry. Crafted from Alcott's letters and journals, this theatrical presentation brings her voice to life, sharing stories of her unconventional childhood, her work as a Civil War nurse, her fierce dedication to family, and her lifelong advocacy for equal rights.
