| Directed by NWSA theater faculty James Randolph, ten college theatre students will present the musical, Little Women, the beloved story of the adventures of the four March sisters. “Plays are about four things: Politics, Economics, Religion, Family. Little Women has lasted because I think it hits all of those. This story is universal and it’s good that our student body has an opportunity to experience it one way or the other,” said director Randolph.
“Little Women is a story about many things – family, how the absence of a family member affects the entirety of the family, and how people have to step into that role for the family to be functioning. It is also about society in the 1800s, how women had to step out of the boxes that society put them in, and in which they also put themselves in. It is about falling in love and what it means, in this time period, to have different personalities and to fall into and marry for love instead of as a business transaction,” noted college theatre student, Victoria Chacon.
Daniella Diaz, another theatre student cast in the production highlights, “Little Women is helping me grow as an artist because I’m playing two different characters – both decades older than me. Aunt March is probably the oldest one that I’ve had to play, not to mention that this is set in the 1860s. It’s definitely challenging my physique and my voice, as well as my mannerisms.” |
