The writing of
Louisa May Alcott is depicted as she narrates the life and times of Mrs. March and her
four charming daughters. This play clearly portrays the ambiance of America in the late
1800’s. A period piece, the story includes a large cast and many musical numbers. A
voice over of Louisa as Narrator is included with script. (or she can be played live) Set
can be abstract or concrete. A musical in two Acts, this is a serious undertaking for a
director who desires a challenge.
