According to an announcement on the City of Marietta website, the Marietta Theatre Company will present “Little Women” this May, bringing the beloved classic to the stage just in time for spring outings and Mother’s Day celebrations.

The production, based on Louisa May Alcott’s novel, follows the lives of the March sisters as they experience the challenges and joys of growing up during the Civil War era. “Little Women” explores themes of family, love, and perseverance.

“Bringing such a cherished story to life for our audiences is an honor and the perfect outing for the whole family! As we embrace the warmth of spring and the joy of family gatherings, Little Women offers a touching reminder of the bonds that unite us,” Director Zac W. Phelps said, quoted in the announcement for the performance.

The musical’s score features songs such as “Astonishing,” “Some Things Are Meant to Be,” and “Days of Plenty,” emphasizing the story’s focus on family relationships.

Performances will take place May 1–10 at Marietta Theatre Company, which operates in residence at Theatre in the Square, 11 Whitlock Ave., on Marietta Square. Ticket prices range from $27.50 to $51.95 and are available at this link.

Mini-season tickets for the remaining 2025 productions—”Little Women,” “Disaster!” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”—are also available, starting at $73 per person. Mini-season ticket holders receive free ticket exchanges and access to all three shows.
