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.
All shows are sold out.
Doors open at 1:40pm for the 2:00pm Matinees and at 7:10pm for the 7:30 evening shows.
Marblehead artist Alicia Cohen faithfully reproduces the owl artwork that is painted on the fireplace at Louisa May Alcott's home Orchard House in Concord. Massachusetts. The original owl was painted by Abigail May Alcott, the youngest Alcott sister. Abigail May trained as an artist in Boston and Europe. She was one of the few successful female professional artists of her time. Alicia painted the screen in acrylics on plywood. The screen measures roughly 48 inches fully open and roughly 36 inches high. Alicia is an award-winning Marblehead artist, well-known for her extraordinary and detailed portraits of animals. You can see additional examples of her artwork at www.thepaintgirl.net

The dragon is back in town! Well… not really. That’s the story a ragtag band of innkeepers makes up, desperate to draw questing heroes to the struggling Dancing Dragon Inn. Soon the inn is full of unexpected guests, from an army of princesses out to prove their bravery, to a group of overwhelmed heroes trying to hold onto their fame. But what happens if they all discover the innkeepers’ dragon story is made up? Could there be more than one way to save the day? An epic folk-rock score brings magic to this funny, heartfelt fantasy musical.

A View From The Bridge is the story about longshoreman Eddie Carbone, his wife Beatrice, and his seventeen-year-old niece, Catherine.
Beatrice invites her two illegal immigrant cousins to live with them until better accommodations can be arranged. Their impact on the household is felt immediately.
The play asks, how do we find commonality between different people? What is the experience of immigrating to the United States? How do you cope with being part of a larger society, but still hold on to your roots? In our current political climate, A View From The Bridgeis as topical and relevant as it was when it first opened in 1956.
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
Written by Bertolt Brecht Translated by George Tabori Revised by Alistair Beaton
Directed by Greg Mancusi Ungaro
Written in the ‘30s, set in the ’20s, Bertolt Brecht’s epic gangster play was conceived to warn America about the preciousness of democracy. Through powerful, transparent allegory, Brecht shows us the path of an ordinary grifter, as he rises from obscurity to the pinnacle of power. This satire is a dark commentary of the perils of unchecked power.

Born in Bavaria, 1898. At 24, his cutting-edge Drums in the Night won him Expressionist recognition. His quickly written Threepenny Opera was Germany’s greatest hit of the 1920s. Revolutionary in form for 1928 Berlin – non-operatic, anti- highbrow musical theater - and cynically satirical, it irritated the Nazis; Brecht let Germany with his family in 1933. He continued to write in Scandinavia (e.g. Mother Courage) until the Nazi invasion. In California, along with some work for Hollywood he wrote The Caucasian Chalk Circle and Galileo, produced in L.A. in 1947. The House Un-American Activities Committee interrogated him that same year; he left the U.S. the following day. He established the Berliner Ensemble in 1949 in East Berlin, opening Mother Courage with his wife Helene Weigel; its 1954 tour to Paris brought him recognition as Europe’s most important director, a year before his untimely illness and death.
