2021 Audition Packet


Dear parents and students,

We are so excited that you and your family have decided to embark on this
theatre adventure with us this year! Theatre is rewarding, inspiring, character
growing, and just plain fun. But it also involves commitment, hard work and
flexibility. Because theatre is all those things (and more!) and because it involves
the whole family, we ask that one parent and every student involved read
through all of the information below. There have been many hours, thought, and
prayer put into this packet for the purpose of serving you and your family! Please
take it seriously and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email
me. ([email protected]) We are excited to step into another exciting
year!

Also, we are going to adhere to CDC guidelines during this process to ensure the
safety of our performers, staff, and crew.

Thanks!

Sam Little- Director


Gillian Austin- Music Director
Show Description:
Based on Louisa May Alcott's life, Little Women 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.
Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with
laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit. Little Women features plenty of great opportunities
for female actors and singers ranging in age from teenage to 60 years old. The show also has
a flexible cast size that can include as few as ten or as many as 42 people! The powerful score
soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope – the sounds of a young
America finding its voice.
