STEUBENVILLE, OHIO—Franciscan University of Steubenville’s Anathan Theatre will perform Little Women on November 10, 11, 17, and 18 at 7:00 p.m., and November 12 and 19 at 2:00 p.m.

The play is an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, Little Women, by Kate Hamill and will be performed in Anathan Theatre, ground floor, in Egan Hall.

Directed by Franciscan University theatre professor Dr. Monica Anderson, Hamill’s humorous and heartfelt play tells the coming-of-age story of Jo March and her sisters. Headstrong Jo March defies the expectations of her society as she strives to become an accomplished writer. Sisters Meg, Beth, and Amy also must negotiate their private ambitions with societal expectations as the girls grow up amidst the strife of the Civil War.

Hamill’s theatrical adaptation of Little Women is a touching tale of young people searching for their futures under conditions that demand from them patience, persistence, and forgiveness.

Performances are open to the public ad will be about two hours long with one intermission.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Admission is free for clergy, religious, and children under 12.
