War, grief, and growing up. This coming-of-age play, set against the backdrop of a nation torn apart by war, follows the March sisters on the “verge of becoming women,” as they navigate their own civil wars within the family, their individual identities, and the world around them.

Jo March isn’t your typical Victorian lady. She’s indecorous and headstrong, and one day she’s going to be a great American novelist. As she and her sisters grow up in the middle of the Civil War, they strive to be brave, intelligent, and imaginative young women. But as adulthood approaches, each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society’s expectations. In a war-torn world defined by gender, class, and personal tragedy, Jo March gives us her greatest story: that of the March sisters, four dreamers destined to be imperfect little women.
