*HATHAWAY BROWN THEATRE INSTITUTE*

*PRESENTS “LITTLE WOMEN” JULY 17-26*




*Louisa May Alcott's classic coming-of-age story comes alive in a vibrant
new play adaptation*



Hathaway Brown Theatre Institute continues its 2015 summer season of hits
with the family-friendly play *Little Women, **in a fresh adaptation of
Louisa May Alcott's famous novel by Scott Davidson, presented at Hathaway
Brown School in Shaker Heights, Ohio, from July 17 to July 26.*

Set during the American Civil War, this timeless and enduring classic
traces the March sisters’ journey from childhood to maturity as they
experience life's joys and disappointments.  Audiences of all generations
will enjoy acquainting — or reacquainting — themselves with the sisters:
Meg, the eldest; Jo, the high-spirited tomboy; Amy, the self-centered
beauty; and gentle Beth, as well as their beloved Marmee and Father.
Penned by Louisa May Alcott 140 years ago, this much-loved classic tale’s
message is still relevant for audiences today.

Performances are Friday, July 17 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday July 18 at 7:30
p.m., Sunday, July 19 at 2:00 p.m., Friday July 24 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday,
July 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 26 at 2:00 p.m.
