Alvin Fernald, Mayor for A Day
Mrs. Pinkney’s Social Study class has held a mock election and Alvin Fernald has won the day. Alvin gets the chance to be Mayor of his town for one day. He is quick to give all his friends government positions and in no time the middle schoolers have taken over City Hall. Determined to make the most of his position, Alvin gets to work fulfilling his many campaign promises. Afterall, a vote for Alvin is a vote for action. However, in the process the acting Mayor and his City Commissioners are about to discover the underbelly of local government.

Little Women - An Original Adaptation
Little Women is the classic story of the March sisters. Written by Louisa May Alcott about an American Family in the late 1800’s, this novel has been beloved by generations and has been adapted many times for both film and stage. This version was written especially for The Player’s Studio and follows Jo March as she reflects on her upbringing. Faced with unexpected criticism about her writing, Jo must examine the lessons her family has instilled in her and her sisters to decide what is most worthy in art, life, and love. It is a story that will make you laugh, cry, and think - a story we hope you will love watching as much as we have loved bringing it to life.
