About This Casting

Project Overview

We are looking for young talent for a stage adaptation of Little Women, written by Lauren Gunderson and based on the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott. This production explores the lives of the four March sisters during the American Civil War, highlighting themes of family, independence, and personal growth.

About the Play

Little Women follows the journey of Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March as they navigate the challenges of growing up in Concord, Massachusetts, while their father serves as a chaplain in the Civil War. Each sister has her own unique personality and aspirations, facing various joys and hardships throughout the story. Key moments include:

  • Jo's close friendship with their wealthy neighbor, Laurie, and her decision to prioritize her writing career over romance.
