November 19, 2024 | Sarasota

The Sarasota Players continues its 95th Season with Little Women the Musical. Running Dec. 5 through 15, 2024 at The Crossings at Siesta Key (3501 S. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34239)this beloved story is moving and perfect for the whole family. With music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, book by Allan Knee and based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, this timeless tale of courage and family has been a favorite for decades.

Featuring both new and familiar performers, this production features a mostly female production team and former students of The Players Studio.

Synopsis:
The Civil War is in full swing, and the March sisters — Meg, the oldest, a romantic, the spirited and tomboyish Jo, sweet and loving Beth, and irascible, playful Amy — live in Concord, Massachusetts with their Marmee while their father is on the battlefield. Filled with adventure (both lived and imagined), heartbreak, and a deep sense of hope, the struggle of these “Little Women” to find their own voices mirrors the growing pains of a young America. With buoyant, joyful melodies, memorable characters, and a big-hearted message, Little Women reminds us that “sometimes when you dream, your dreams come true.”
