MARCH
(Adapted from the novel, Little Women by Louisa May Alcot)
Under the guidance of their beloved mother, the March sisters struggle to keep their family going while Father's away in the Civil War. Even as privation, illness, and sibling rivalry cast their shadows, each girl strives to find her true self.
​
Discover characters that are beautiful and traditional, tomboyish and progressive, peacemaking and musical, artistic and longing for elegance and fine society. The characters are vain, hotheaded, cripplingly shy, and materialistic.
Come join a program that explores depth, and empathy and progression that stands the test of time.

Echoing Voices
‘Echoing Voices’ is set in a small cottage on the coast, where two retired nuclear scientists are living. A recent disaster at the local power station where they used to work has devastated the area and they live under the threat of radiation pollution. Electricity and water are rationed. With Geiger in hand, they are determined to preserve some semblance of normality and live the healthiest life they possibly can. But when former colleagues suddenly turn up, there is a disruption in the precariously ordered existence. The group are determined that they must fix the problems they have caused for the next generation, even if it means certain death. Exploring issues of accountability and morality, ‘Echoing’ presents a very real, post-nuclear world.
Join the Barnstormers readers theatre as we look at this play as a reaction to the very fast way that we all live our lives now. It's about slowing down, its about creating space for us to think about the meanings of our actions and what we do about that. This play creates a space, in this very fast paced world to just sit in the theatre and be with these characters as they deal with the issues that we are all struggling with.

Starting January 23 - April 10 from 10 AM - Noon
