The Elora Community Theatre is presenting Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women from May 6 to 15 at the Fergus Grand Theatre.
The play adaptation was written by Thomas Hischak, the performance is directed by Deb Stanson and David Tanner.
Little Women tells the story of four sisters as they journey from childhood to maturity during the time of the American Civil War. The story is partially based on the author’s life and her own experiences shared with her sisters.
In the Elora Community Theatre’s production of Little Women familiar faces from the community will include Jessica Frye, Jackie Sharkey, Deb Dalziel and many others ranging from the ages of 9 to 79.
Sammy Beynon, one of the sisters is also appearing in the musical Footloose at the CWDHS.
Kara and Lynda Shaw will be playing piano and violin throughout the show.
Costumes by Suzanne Trivers and Sara Marsh aim to be as accurate as possible to the time period and the actors will portray the story on a set that was created by Robert Banning and assisted by Maggie Parent and Lawrence Lee.
The play is directed by Deb Stanson and David Tanner.
Tanner has recently worked on The Drawer Boy as technical director as well as co-directing ECT’s Shakespeare in the park.
Stanson has directed many family favourites for ECT including Peter Pan, Tom Sawyer, Anne of Green Gables, Anne and Gilbert the Musical and Shakespeare in the Park.
