Open, Diverse Cast Sought

Because our goals at Main Street Theatre include fostering a fun, inclusive, community-building environment, our open casting encourages actors of all ages, colors, sizes, identities, cultures, and abilities to audition for any part they are interested in.

Little Women 
​Adapted by Marisha Chamberlain

Main Street Theatre is seeking a racially diverse cast to tell this classic tale in a new way, actors and actresses ages 16-65 (7 females/4 males). Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please bring a copy of a recent head shot or photo for us to keep. Resumes are accepted but not required. 

The following roles are available:
The age range of the March sisters runs 12-18, but we expect to cast high school through young adult actresses in these roles.

Meg – 16, very much the first-born child, oldest and in charge. Beautiful. A strong spirit, happy with a simple domestic life but curious to experience well-to-do proper society.

Jo – 15, the spitfire, tomboy of the family, she is a gifted writer, eager to break the rules and ready for adventure.

Beth – 13, the painfully shy, peacemaker of the family, she is a talented musician on the piano, incredibly loyal and quite lovable.

Amy – 12, pretty and “too prissy for her own good,” the girly girl, ambitious and aspiring artist who loves everything that money and high society appears to offer.

Marmee – 40ish, mother of the March girls, strong head of house, Preacher’s Wife, nurse and caregiver, loving and patient, works hard to do the best she can every day for her family, she understands duty and her role in her community.

Aunt March – 60ish, straight-laced family matriarch and keeper of the family fortune, strict and formal with old school manners and airs with a loving soul under her tough exterior.

Hannah – 20/30s, the family cook, optimistic, perpetual caregiver to the family and mother hen to the girls in Marmee’s absence, truly a member of the family.

Laurie – 16, the dashing young male sweetheart, boy next door, witty, handsome, mischievous and smart, he envies the March family dynamic and enjoys becoming a part of their daily lives. (Laurie will likely be played by a young adult.)

Brooke – 20's -30, Laurie’s tutor, quiet, awkward, incredibly loyal and patient.

Mr. Laurence – 60+, Laurie’s grandfather who raised him when orphaned, a gentle man in the truest sense, misses the family life that the March home can provide, he is a music aficionado and pianist in his own right, generous, loving and wise.

Father – 40/50s, father to the March girls, pastor, chaplain, a scholar, gentle, loving soul, proud of each of his Little Women for their distinct gifts and unique personalities.
