The dragon is back in town! Well… not really. That’s the story a ragtag band of innkeepers makes up, desperate to draw questing heroes to the struggling Dancing Dragon Inn. Soon the inn is full of unexpected guests, from an army of princesses out to prove their bravery, to a group of overwhelmed heroes trying to hold onto their fame. But what happens if they all discover the innkeepers’ dragon story is made up? Could there be more than one way to save the day? An epic folk-rock score brings magic to this funny, heartfelt fantasy musical.

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.
All shows are sold out.
Doors open at 1:40pm for the 2:00pm Matinees and at 7:10pm for the 7:30 evening shows.
Marblehead artist Alicia Cohen faithfully reproduces the owl artwork that is painted on the fireplace at Louisa May Alcott’s home Orchard House in Concord. Massachusetts. The original owl was painted by Abigail May Alcott, the youngest Alcott sister. Abigail May trained as an artist in Boston and Europe. She was one of the few successful female professional artists of her time. Alicia painted the screen in acrylics on plywood. The screen measures roughly 48 inches fully open and roughly 36 inches high. Alicia is an award-winning Marblehead artist, well-known for her extraordinary and detailed portraits of animals. You can see additional examples of her artwork at www.thepaintgirl.net
