Odyssey 678 Presents 'Little Women' and 'Showtime on the Showboat'

Little Women: This dramatic adaptation of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott tells the story of the four young March sisters  -- tempestuous Jo, motherly Meg, shy Beth, and spoiled baby Amy.  Under the guidance of their beloved mother, they struggle to keep their family going while Father's away in the Civil War.  Even as privation, illness, and sibling rivalry cast their shadows, each girl strives to find her true self. 

Showtime on the Showboat: Adapted from Shubert Fendrich's 'Will the Showboat Show Tonight?', Sheila Smolenky's version is a zestful vaudevillian-style musical featuring the River Queen Showboat steaming down the mighty Mississippi river.  Captain Lucy is attempting to open a new theatre season.  She not only must earn enough money to pay her crew and performers, but must also make a payment on the showboat.  But evil thespian Rufus Bilge is angry for not being cast as Romeo.  He plots with his accomplice, Sadie Larue, to drug young actor, Alex Adonis, sabotage the show and gain control of the showboat.  Luckily, the dastardly villain is foiled and Alex wins the lead, as well as the heroine’s heart.
