Winfield High School will present Little Women: The Musical, with performances scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 13, 7 p.m. Nov. 14 and 2 p.m. Nov. 15.
According to USD 465, the cast received a special letter from acclaimed actress Jayne Houdyshell, who portrayed Hannah, the March family’s longtime housekeeper, in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 film adaptation of Little Women. The connection was made through Winfield High School library aide Kris Trimmer.
Winfield schools said Houdyshell encouraged students to recognize the privilege of performing, give their hearts to the story and remember that someone in the audience may be watching them and dreaming of one day standing on a stage themselves.
