Just in time for the holidays, Starkville Community Theatre presents the family-friendly classic "Little Women".
Adapted by Kate Hamill, from the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott, "Little Women" tells the story of Jo March, who 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 war-torn 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.
The show will perform November 30 through December 2, nightly at 7 p.m.; December 3 at 2 p.m.; December 5 through 8, nightly at 7 p.m., and December 9 at 2 p.m..
General admission is $20 per ticket, with discounted $15 tickets for students and active military.
The production is directed by Sara Wade and stars Ryan Bergman, Grace Brown, Kiki Efantis, Brooklin Gall, Madeline Golden, Jessica Jolly, Bradley Long, Regan Plunkett, and Christopher Walrath.
