Little Women: The Broadway Musical
November 7-8, 7:30 PM; November 9, 2:00 PM
(Martin Luther College Auditorium)
Grow alongside Louis May Alcott’s little pilgrims as they wrestle with their inner vanities and seek contentment and joy in a simple life well-lived. The March sisters—Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth—are poor in material comforts but rich in imagination, home life, and spiritual depth. In her book, Little Women, Alcott invites us into their warm, nostalgic home where we battle imaginary villains with Jo, witness the foibles of Meg’s early married life, struggle with Amy as she learns to care more for virtue than vanity, and share in Beth’s tears as she embraces her unique story. Little Women: The Broadway Musical captures the charm of this tender family, focusing on the story of Jo. As the oldest, she is the captain of this merry band of childhood adventurers, but as her sisters and friends grow and change around her, she clings tightly to her childhood dreams. Will she discover her true path? Experience the warmth and joy of this beloved story, complete with tender moments, dramatic swordplay, and captivating music that will transport you and encourage you in your own pilgrimage home.

This new adaptation by Ken Ludwig, one of the world’s premier playwrights, remains true to Christie’s beloved novel while staging a transporting tale featuring memorable characters, thrilling pacing, and an ending that leaves you wanting more.

The BFG
May 2, 3:00 & 7:00 PM
(Martin Luther College Auditorium)
It’s Sophie’s special day, but the birthday entertainer is sick, and Sophie and her friends must make their own fun. Thus begins David Wood’s—the UK’s National Children’s Dramatist—adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFG. Dahl is considered one of the most colorful and playful of children’s writers. His beloved story of Sophie and her unlikely friend has enthralled and entertained children for over forty years with its lighthearted humor, whimsical fantasy, and bone-chilling comedy.
On a mysterious night, Sophie is unexpectedly whisked away from her cozy bed by a towering giant. Her fears quickly disappear as she befriends this kind colossus who eats snozzcumbers and speaks in squiff-squiddles. Unfortunately, lurking in Giant Country are other, far more terrifying giants with a taste for human beans! It’s up to Sophie and her newfound friend, the BFG, to devise a daring plan to outsmart these dangerous beasts before it’s too late. David Wood’s masterful adaptation celebrates the beauty of imaginative play while encouraging children to bravely face their fears—even bone-crunching giants—with the aid of unexpected friends. We hope you come and join us for a glumptiously glummy good time!
Reserved ticketing will be available. Please check back in February 2026 for additional details. Tickets will also be sold at the door.
