Theatre in the Park presents the classic tale of the March family living in Concord, Mass., a story based on Louisa May Alcott’s famous novel. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, guided by their mother, Marmee, grow from girls into little women, and find themselves going through romance and courtship, illness and loss, and loving and letting go. Will Barnhart directs this production. Free music and a talk with Barnhart starts at 7 p.m. in the indoor theater before each performance.
