Only three shows remain of Whitefish Theatre Company’s winter show “Little Women” at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. Final performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 16 and 17 and at 4 p.m. on Dec. 18.
In Kate Hamill’s sparkling adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel “Little Women”, Jo March is not your typical Victorian lady. She is ambitious, rough around the edges, headstrong, and yearns for the day when she will be a great American novelist. As the nation is torn apart by civil war, Jo and her sisters struggle with what it means to grow up, as each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society’s expectations of gender and class. Written with a contemporary flair and called “ingenious, saucy, and spunky” by The New York Times, Jo March gives us her greatest story — the March sisters, four dreamers destined to be imperfect little women.
