South Bay Musical Theatre Presents Little Women
January 24–February 14, 2026 | Saratoga Civic Theater
Saratoga, CA – South Bay Musical Theatre (SBMT) is proud to present Little Women, the beloved musical adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s timeless novel, running January 24 through February 14, 2026 at the Saratoga Civic Theater.
With music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, and a book by Allan Knee, Little Women brings to life the enduring story of the March sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—as they come of age in Civil War–era America. Based on Alcott’s classic novel, the musical captures their journeys through ambition, heartbreak, and hope with a soaring, heartfelt score that has made it a favorite with audiences around the world.
Set against the backdrop of a nation at war, Little Women is an intimate and deeply moving celebration of family, resilience, and the courage to dream. From Jo’s fierce determination to find her voice, to the quiet strength of Beth, the romantic longing of Meg, and Amy’s artistic ambition, the story resonates across generations with warmth, humor, and emotional truth.
“Little Women is a love letter to women’s voices,” says SBMT Artistic Director Walter M. Mayes. “Louisa May Alcott created characters who insist on being taken seriously as artists, thinkers, caregivers, and dreamers at a time when women faced career-limiting expectations. This musical honors that legacy beautifully. Jo’s determination to write her own story, and each sister’s right to define success on her own terms, feels just as urgent and inspiring today as it did when the novel was first published.”
The cast of Little Women features a talented ensemble of Bay Area performers. Complete lists of cast and creative staff are available on the show’s page at SouthBayMT.com.
Performances take place at the Saratoga Civic Theater, 13777 Fruitvale Avenue, Saratoga, CA.
Tickets range from $27–$59, with a $2 discount for seniors.
Season subscribers enjoy priority seating and the best pricing.
Tickets are available at SouthBayMT.com or by calling the SBMT Box Office at (408) 266-4734.
Little Women is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com.
