Students in Grades 3 through 12 this school year: Join us for our Troupe Spring 2025 Play: Little Women!

Little Women is a classic American tale that follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—growing up in Civil War-era New England. This stage adaptation explores the sisters’ individual personalities, dreams, and struggles as they navigate the challenges of adolescence into adulthood. The March sisters’ bond, their relationships with their family, and their personal growth form the heart of the story. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and its aftermath, Little Women delves into themes of love, family, sacrifice, and the pursuit of one’s ambitions.

Students must audition for this pre-professional advanced theatre group.

    Service Project

    Central Florida Community Arts exists to serve and build community through the arts. With our mission in mind, our Youth Theatre Program students for each production have the opportunity to participate in a service project to benefit another non-profit organization in Central Florida - and to build friendships and bond with their castmates! These service projects are carefully selected to align with the message of the story that our students are telling on stage.

    For this production, we are honored to partner with Pace Center for Girls Orange! Pace is a non-profit organization that provides academic classes, counseling and social services to middle and high school girls. Just as the heroines of Little Women work hard to achieve their dreams, the girls of Pace are working hard every day to make their dreams come true! We are excited to visit Pace to work on service projects that will benefit the students there.
