City Theatre Premieres Alcott/Gunderson ‘Little Women’
"Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women" was put in motion by a mistaken premise. The playwright Lauren Gunderson was asked by a theater leader if he could read her stage version of novel. It was a reasonable assumption, Gunderson said. Except she hadn’t written such a work. At least, not yet. Her adaptation makes its Pittsburgh debut at City Theatre, Nov. 5-Dec. 7, 2025.
