Gallery: Theatre tells heartwarming story of ‘Little Women’

February 16, 2023 by Daniel Curd

The ACU Department of Theatre will present  “Little Women,” starting Feb. 16 at Fulks Theater. “Little Women” is a story about the bond of sisterhood and the pursuit of one’s dreams. Based on the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott, this play follows the lives of the four March sisters as they navigate the challenges of growing up in the mid-19th century.
