Adapted by Thomas Hischak from the novel by Louisa May Alcott THE STORY: Jo March 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. Full length play in two acts and 150 minute run time. A classic story for all ages.
BATTLE FOR NORTH STAR: The final chapter by Jordan Miller
Please join Theater for Young Professionals this holiday season for our third original musical
Our story follows the original characters from A North Star Christmas as they try to make the best of the Christmas season again! It's two days before Christmas and something dark is looming over the mall as shoppers, a show choir, and Santa's helpers are gathered together to prepare for Christmas. A festive day descends into chaos. We hope you will join us for this hilarious and joyful evening of holiday cheer! The show will be running from December 1-19, 2023.
