Staged Reading of "Little Women" by Kate Hamill

About this event

GBCT will be presenting our first staged reading of our 26-27 (90th Anniversary!) Season, "Little Women" Adapted by Kate Hamill and based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, directed by Teresa Aportela Sergott, on Saturday, November 14 at 4:00pm. SYNOPSIS: 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 wartorn 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. ️ This show is free to the public with pay-what-you-can open seating.
