Seeking Teenagers for "Little Women" Play

The second-oldest March. Does not fit comfortably within the parameters of her given gender role. A deep fire within her and a deep desire to change the world.Extremely ambitious and Impatient, and well ahead of her time. She isn’t always likeable, having a stubborn streak and a hot temper not becoming to a lady. Has a serious soft spot for her sister, Beth. Actor

The third March. Very sweet but paralytically shy; had to be removed from school because of her severe social anxiety. Lovingly sheltered by her family. What we might call an empath: feels everything so deeply that it hurts. Understands much more than anyone realizes. Brave and sensitive and clearly a very special person.

The youngest March. Opinionated and spunky; the popular girl type and quite focused on style. Not the most tolerant of differing viewpoints, but socially intelligent— knows how and why to play the game to her advantage. A perfect little lady-except for her temper, and her not-so-great command of "vocabiblary." Grows up to be quite beautiful and elegant. Madly in love with Laurie, around whom she is never composed.

A sweet and handsome young man. Sensitive— perhaps too sensitive for his gender. Funny, charming, and caring. A natural musician and a renaissance man. Mirrors some of the gender-defiance of Jo, because he too finds that he doesn’t desire to fit neatly into societal expectations of being a his assigned gender. Longs for something far more interesting than becoming a tedious man of business. Finds a loving family in the Marches.
