(HILLSBOROUGH, NJ) -- Somerset Valley Players presents Little Women, the Musical weekends from December 4-20, 2026. Based on Louisa May Alcott's American classic, this Civil War story of love and family stands the test of time.
Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.
Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit.
Directed by Raymond Shinn with Musical Direction by Emily Bengals, the cast includes Kate Wolfel (Jo), Allie Giles (Meg), Ann Hoye (Beth), Angelina Amara (Amy), Valerie Doran (Marmee), Joanne Sternberg (Aunt March/Mrs. Kirk), Sean Lynch-Littlejohn (Professor Bhaer), RJ Clemens (Laurie), Luke Basile (John Brooke), and Tom Drummer (Mr. Laurence).
Performances take place Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00pm with Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. There is an additional 2:00pm matinee on Saturday, December 12th. Tickets are available for purchase online. The theater is located at 689 Amwell Road in Hillsborough Township, New Jersey.
Little Women, the Musical features a Book by Allan Knee; Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein; and Music by Jason Howland.
