“ A treat for theatergoers of all ages ”

On the Cripe Stage…
From the novel that holds a special place in the heart of American literature, comes a new musical that proves this timeless story is still relevant, funny, and heartbreaking today. Join rambunctious Jo, practical Meg, sweet Beth, and romantic Amy as they embark on a coming-of-age tale filled with drama, romance, humor (and song!), all under the watchful eye of their beloved Marmee while their father is away during the Civil War. You will not want to miss this terrific theatrical treat for the holidays, perfect for the entire family!
Recommendation: Ages 4 and up. Great for the entire family.
Nominated for 6 OCTG Theatre AwardsOutstanding Production of a Musical, Outstanding Direction of a Musical (Casey Long), Outstanding Music Direction (Gabrielle Maldonado), Outstanding Ensemble (Sarah Pierce, Katherine Chatman, Emily Abeles, Camie Del Rosario, Maggie Randolph, Zac Swan Van Lent, Tucker Boyes, Jennifer Sparks, Glenn Koppel, and Christopher Diem), Outstanding Leading Performance in a Musical (Sarah Pierce), Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Musical (Emily Abeles)
“Sarah Pierce (Jo) is a singing sensation… Jennifer Spark’s portrayal of Aunt March is a class on comedic acting… Tucker Boyes (Professor Bhaer) blew the roof off with his sonorous and sweet voice… I want to give a very special shout out to Maggie Randolph’s portrayal of Marmee March. She is very convincing as a tired but loving matriarch of this robust family. I am simply floored by her ability to deliver heartbreaking lines so beautifully.”
Stage and Cinema“an entrancing turn by its engaging lead, Sarah Pierce as Alcott’s deliciously hoydenish, brassy, proto-feminist heroine… a joy to watch… her rendition of “Astonishing” at the end of the first act achieved new heights of theatrical excitement, and her vibrant “Better” and “The Fire Within Me” brought chills to the audience.”
The Show Report“Pierce makes the budding writer the epitome of daring, determination, and spunk, investing Jo with oceans of sisterly love and familial devotion, and just wait till Pierce’s acting chops and power pipes merge in an ‘Astonishing’ that is quite simply astonishing… Chatman is loveliness and warmth personified as Meg… Abeles will quite simply break your heart as the angelic Beth… Boyes’ Professor Baer is as amusingly stuffy as he is unexpectedly charming… the always terrific Glenn Koppel gives the curmudgeonly grandfather-next-door Mr. Lawrence even richer shadings than in his several previous turns in the role.”
