Please join us in May for a beautiful new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic "Little Women"&nbsp; -- the first time it has been produced in Massachusetts.Tickets:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next</a>&nbsp;
One reviewer noted of Lauren Gunderson's version:&nbsp;
"One of the best versions I’ve seen. These are not porcelain figures with easily smoothed-over eccentricities, but real human girls who struggle and quarrel, sometimes viciously, yet have intense loyalty to each other. It also shows how fun they are. One of the joys of reading the book is that you want to be part of the March family, with their homemade theatricals and newspapers. The hijinks and squabbles at the start make the sorrows at the end more poignant."
May 1-17, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm.
Tickets $25
