Description

LITTLE WOMEN by Kate Hamill, adapted from the novel by Louisa May Alcott

Directed by Gisela O'Brien;  Produced by Geraldine McDonald;  Stage Managed by Tippy Scott

Four sisters and a Mom. Though this is what those of us who have read the novel, think this play is about – it isn’t only that. Sure, we know that these women are left behind to fend for themselves during the ravages of the American Civil War. However, we gain a new appreciation for Louisa May Alcott’s work, as it becomes obvious that she, like most artists, was a woman ahead of her time.  There is a realization that sibling/parental/family and love relationships are forever unique, forever changing and forever enduring. TAG tackles this new adaptation by well-known playwright Kate Hamill with a fresh take on a timeless classic.

Cast: Catherine Conrad, Celia Konowe, Desarée da Cruz, Dylan Jackson, Fiona Clancey, Haylea Dollimont, Heather MacPherson, Jayme Butt, Zak Zimmer, Ben Leger, Michael Stack, KC Schwarz

Theatre Arts Guild

The Theatre Arts Guild is proud to be the country’s oldest community theatre with a record of continuous operation. The Guild was founded in 1931 (through a merger of the Little Theatre Movement and the Halifax Dramatic and Musical Club), and has presented entertainment each year since then.

“The Dover Road,” by A.A. Milne was the group’s first production in May of 1931, and was given at the Garrick Theatre (the present Neptune Theatre),  since the group did not have a permanent home. “Dover Road” was repeated for TAG’s 60th Anniversary in 1991.

Over the years, the Guild has had several homes and performed in many venues, including the Capitol Theatre, the former College Street School, and the gymnasium of HMCS Scotian and St. Patrick’s High School. In 1966 however, the Guild acquired a former church hall at 6 Parkhill Road and this property, renamed The Pond Playhouse, has been its home ever since.
