Calling all actors!

The Pearl Theater is looking for actors ages 12-99 for Louisa May Alcott's American classic story of love and family set a midst the stands the test of time. A captivating story brought to life in this glorious musical is filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope, and everlasting love. Based on Louisa May Alcott's life the musical 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.
