Musical adaptation of Little Women from LWC Theatre Dept. From Duane Bonifer When patrons attend the upcoming Lindsey Wilson College Department of Theatre production of the musical Little Women, they will get to know the legendary literary March family quite well. That's because the musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel will be presented in a black box theater format, which will include seating on the stage. And that will allow audience members to appreciate the story in a very personal way, according to Lindsey Wilson theatre faculty member Jeremy Cloyd. "You're going to be right there, close enough to touch the actors," said Cloyd, who is co-directing the play with graduate assistant Kassidy Phelps. "You will be living with the March family throughout the show." The Lindsey Wilson College Theatre Department will present the musical adaptation of "Little Women" at 7pmCT on April 24-26 and at 2pmCT on April 27, 2025, in the college's V.P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson St., Columbia, KY. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to lindsey.edu/theatre or contact the department at theatre@lindsey.edu or 270-384-8044.
