Experience anew this classic story of Jo March and her three sisters during the American Civil War. Root for Jo, whose ambition to become a famous writer faces severe complications. Follow the journey as Jo weaves the story of herself, her sisters and their experience growing up at a pivotal time in American history. This is a show for all ages that will bring tears to your eyes and laughter to your heart.
“‘Little Women’ tells a beautiful story of both love and loss,” said Mareena Rodriguez, assistant director of the show and professor of applied voice and musical theatre at Milligan. “The bond the March girls share is something that many of our Milligan students can relate to. As students leave their homes to join a new community, the story of ‘Little Women’ proves that family is never too far when love knows no bounds.”
The cast features Milligan students Anna Shelton, a senior from Kokomo, Indiana, playing the lead role of Jo; seminary student Kathyrn Freeman, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as Marmee; freshman Sallie Hatfield, from Seymour, Tennessee, in the role of Meg; freshman Irie Manning, of Etowah, Tennessee, as Amy; senior Ryan Jamerson, from Jonesborough, Tennessee, performing as Laurie; and seminary student Vann Barnette, of Marion, Iowa, as John Brooke.
Several Milligan faculty collaborated on this production including Diane Taveau as director, assistant director Mareena Rodriguez, music director Dr. Charlotte Anderson, conductor Dr. Kellie Brown, and set and lighting designer Brian Saxton.
