Has any American novel been more beloved or withstood the passage of time and changing mores better than Louisa May Alcott's Little Women? Peter Clapham's stage adaptation preserves all the humor, drama, warmth and humanity of a New England family during the Civil War. Here they are, the characters we remember so well brought to life: pretty, sensible Meg; tomboy Jo; delicate Beth; and petulant Amy. Their everyday joys and sorrows are shared with the other unforgettable characters, imperious Aunt March, dependable Hannah, kindly Mr. Laurence, faithful Laurie, love-struck John Brooke, and especially the wonderful Marmee. From Jo selling her hair to Meg's shy courtship, it's all here to remember or, if you are lucky, to experience for the first time.
Old Academy Players (OAP) is a non-profit community theater located in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. The Old Academy building was constructed in 1819 and has been the OAP home since 1932. Both Grace Kelly and Robert Prosky began their acting careers on OAP stage.
