SHOW SYNOPSIS: 
        Adapted from the widely read Luisa May Alcott novel, "Little Women" is the story of four girls growing up in mid-19th century New England.  Sibling rivalries, uncertainty about the future, confronting tragedy, and searching for one's soul mate are all timeless themes woven into the wonderfully adapted script.

All action takes place in the March home.
