On stage, a man and woman clasp hands, portraying a moment from the play "Good Wives."

Thoughts from the Director:

Marriages, Career choices, Engagements, Health problems, Travels, Friendships, and Family!

These are only a few of the situations the March family encounter in the popular classic tale Good Wives, written by the famous Louisa May Alcott as a sequel to Little Women.  Join Corban University’s Theatre Group as they stage Peter Clapham’s stage adaptation of Alcott’s novel. Good Wives, a story of love in simpler and yet challenging times, continues the stories, begun in Little Women, of the beloved March sisters as they face the challenges, choices, heartaches, and opportunities of becoming adults.

Considered one of the most popular young adult stories written, Good Wives will please and entertain all ages with its timeless themes and hopeful depiction of family and community.

It is quintessentially American. It is satisfyingly charming. It is historically significant, yet for all that it is a fun period piece, it feels astonishingly applicable and current.
