About the Play
Based on the young adult novel, “Little Women,” by Louisa May Alcott, the play takes us to the middle of The American Civil War, and four sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—must hold the family together as Christmas draws near. A timeless and sentimental testament to the endurance of family, the power of love, and what it means to stay true to oneself. “Little Women” is masterfully adapted by Marisha Chamberlain.
About Table Reads
The Play Selection Advisory Committee of Athens Community Theatre hosts several opportunities to read plays and musicals for fun each season. Participation in a table read is a great way to “dip a toe in” to see what working with ACT is like. The play is read casually: you can let us know if you want to participate or just listen in. And you can change your mind at any time.
