Auditions!!!
A witty and modern reimagining of Little Women, Chiara Atik's Women brings a fresh, fast-paced, and hilariously self-aware take on Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel. This is Little Women—but with a side of millennial neurosis and an extra dash of sass.
"...engaging, entertaining, and absolutely hilarious."
-- Theatre is Easy
"Atik's dialogue is bursting with youthful energy and wicked smarts."
