As the lights dim on Little Women, we’re reminded that this story is for anyone who has ever reached for a dream, held a loved one close through life’s storms, or discovered that love is the greatest wealth of all.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this story, and its heart, to the Pipestone Performing Arts Center stage. It’s about all of us, and we’re so grateful you were part of it. 💜

Thank you for walking this journey with us: onstage, backstage, and in the audience. Louisa May Alcott's story lives on because of you. 🪡👝❄️🎹🖊️
