				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MPAA is proud to present <em>Little Women,</em> the Broadway Musical. Little Women will be performed at the Brunish Hall at 1111 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97205. Performances will be held Fridays and Saturdays, May 17 &#8211; 25 at 7:00 PM with 2:00 PM matinee performances on Saturday.</p>
<p>Based on Louisa May Alcott’s Civil War era novel, this musical focuses on four sisters &#8211; all of whom are completely unique. The sisters are left to the care of their beloved Marmee in Massachusetts, while their father is away serving as a Union Army chaplain. Their lives unfold and intermingle in personalized short stories that a sister, Jo, pens in her attic studio.  Like the book, the musical has become a classic. Come and experience a portrait of a family as it moves through life, love and loss.</p>
<p>Tickets are now on sale and available for <a href="http://www.pcpa.com/events/little-women-7" target="_blank">purchase online</a>. Prices are $15 for adults and $12.25 for students and seniors (online ticketing services charges will apply).</p>
