Little Women

Little Women at Janet Allen Stage - Indiana Repertory Theater

You think you know the March sisters. Then Louisa May Alcott walks into the room. That is the twist waiting for you at Little Women on March 17, 2027, at 7:30 PM on the Janet Allen Stage at Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis. Lauren Gunderson's stage adaptation, directed by Lauren Keating, puts the author herself inside the drama and draws on passages from her original text. You are not just revisiting a beloved story. You are watching it take shape, with the writer's own life, family and fictional creations pulling at one another right in front of you.

And what a family. The March sisters and their mother hold the home together while the father serves in the Civil War. Four sisters want four different things, and still they share a bond that bends but does not break. Love, growing independence, social restrictions, friendships, romance and loss all move through the story. Live theatre lets those moments land in the same room as you, with no screen between your heart and the stage. This is a spoken stage adaptation, so the story comes through performance and Alcott's words.

Think of who you could bring. A friend who has read the book more than once. A daughter just discovering it. A parent who has carried these characters for decades. A night like this gives generations something to talk about on the walk out. Mark your calendar, gather your people and reserve your seats for Little Women in Indianapolis.
