A FCHS Drama Department press release from Adam Hofer, FCHS English teacher and FCHS drama director

Live theater is back at Franklin County High School this spring.

The FCHS drama department is excited to present the musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic story, Little Women. Audiences will be transported to the late 1860s as the four March sisters come to life as we join them in their family home alongside their strong mother, Marmee, as well as the formidable, Aunt March. Little Women will be performed on Friday, April 9 and Saturday, April 10, at 7 p.m., with a Sunday matinee on April 11 at 2:30 p.m., in the FCHS auditorium. Tickets will be available at the door for in-person viewing starting 45 minutes prior to the show opening. There will be limited seating capacity for in-person guests. In-person tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students in grades K-12.

In addition to in-person viewing, the drama department will be offering a live-stream option for those who may not be able to attend in person. Live streaming tickets can be purchased by visiting this link: https://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/49524. FCHS has taken extra precautions this year to ensure a safe production and in-person guests will be asked to wear masks while in attendance and to be responsible for their own social distancing.

More information about the show can be found on the FCHS Drama Department Facebook page. The show is under the direction of Adam Hofer, Robert Williams, and Candice Murray. Special thanks to Karla Ariens, accompanist and choreographer Bailey Parkhurst, a senior at FCHS.
