Fall Theater Reception
October 31, 2023
6:00 - 6:45 pm
Join us for the Opening Night of the Fall Play!
Playwright Kate Hamill confronts the sexism in Bram Stoker’s original work in this thrilling new adaptation that bounces between horror and humor. Upending the familiar tropes of damsels in distress and dashing villains, Hamill replaces them with all-too-human monsters and ferocious women who drive a gleeful stake through the heart of the patriarchy itself. With buckets of blood and a ton of garlic, this riotous production celebrates the Halloween season perfectly!
Opening Night Reception is at 6:00 pm with a pre-show discussion from Director Catriona Hynds. The performance starts at 7:00 pm.

Join us at Deerfield Academy for our production of Kate Hamill’s Little Women, a fresh and lively adaptation of the beloved novel. Jo March doesn’t want to be treated like other girls; in fact, she’s not even sure that she wants to be a girl. Jo is ambitious, rough around the edges, headstrong, and yearns for a future she can’t yet articulate. As the nation is torn apart by civil war, Jo and her sisters Meg, Beth, and Amy struggle with what it means to grow up. Restrictive gender roles, political beliefs, poverty, and even love itself threaten to break family ties, as the March sisters try to reconcile their identities with society’s demands. How do you stay true to yourself when the world wants you to become a perfect little woman?
