The John Stark Regional High School Stage Company is proud to present the fall musical Little Women, music by Jason Howland, music by MindiDickstein, and book by Allan Knee, based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott.

Little Women is a beautiful coming-of-age story featuring the well-known character Josphine March, better known as Jo, and her sisters Amy, Meg, and Beth. The audience is introduced to the sisters as they are learning the hard lessons of growing up in Massachusetts during the Civil War. The show begins with Jo, an aspiring writer finding another disappointing letter from a local publishing company only to jump into a world of fun, fantasy, romance, and sisterly love. The story, both heart-warming and heart-breaking, features an incredible score and the singing talents of 25 John Stark students.

A group of very diligent understudies has been working to prepare. Their work will be presented in a free UNDERSTUDY SHOWCASE on Nov. 2 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Performances are in the John Stark Regional High School Cafetorium on Nov. 4 (7 p.m.), Nov. 5 (7 p.m.) and Nov. 6 (1 p.m.).
