Little Women

Little Women at Janet Allen Stage - Indiana Repertory Theater

You know the March sisters. Now watch the woman who created them step into the room. In Lauren Gunderson's stage adaptation of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott herself sits inside the dramatic frame, and passages from her original text help carry the story. It's a familiar favorite with a fresh doorway, and it comes to Indianapolis on March 5, 2027, at 7:30 PM on the Janet Allen Stage at Indiana Repertory Theater.

Then comes the family. The March sisters and their mother hold the home together while the father serves in the Civil War. Love, growing independence, social restrictions, friendships, romance and loss all move through the story. Four sisters with different ambitions can make a living room feel enormous. Maybe you see yourself in one of them. Maybe you see your sister, your daughter, or the person who first handed you this book. Directed by Lauren Keating, this local production also explores how Alcott's own life, family and fictional characters connect.

That connection is what makes the night worth leaving the couch for. It's also an easy invitation to share. Bring a lifelong reader, a newcomer, or three generations who each remember a different March sister best. You'll have plenty to talk about on the way out. IRT presents the production February 16–March 21, 2027, but this evening is the one to circle. Reserve your seats for Little Women in Indianapolis and give the family story a night that feels brand new.
