Adapted from Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel, Kate Hamill’s Little Women brings the spirited world of the March sisters to life on stage with wit and warmth. As Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy journey from childhood to adulthood, they each confront the challenges of identity, ambition, love, and loss. With humor and heart (and a cameo by a talking parrot), Little Women is a fresh take on the story we all know and love.

"In the quiet corners and wild spaces, where light dares to linger, forgotten seeds awaken; blooming into stories too bold for the garden path."

Join us for our annual smash-up of experimental theatre, dance, film, and performance art in and around the Westmont campus and downtown Santa Barbara! The Fringe offers a unique opportunity for audiences and artists alike to challenge themselves to experience life and live art in fresh, new ways. There’s nothing like it. Really.
