The oldest March daughter. She is the most mature of the sisters who acts as the adult when Marmee is not present. Looks out for her sisters and lectures them frequently. She loves fine feminine things, and loves to dress up!
ACTOR 3 (Jo March)
2nd oldest March daughter. Jo is boyish and rough and tumble. She is not comfortable with her gender, or the demands placed on women. Very bright, impatient, blunt manners, bad tempered. Ahead of her time: frustrated by the limitations placed on her gender.
ACTOR 4 (Beth March)
3rd oldest March daughter. Extremely shy and quiet, but very perceptive about others’ needs. Agoraphobic, with much social anxiety. Sensitive, but quick to forgive and heal wounds.
ACTOR 5 (Amy March)
The youngest March sister, Amy is spunky, outspoken, with a temper. She was spoiled by everyone, and loves to put on airs and graces. Very focused on superficial things, good social intelligence and very popular.
ACTOR 6 (Hannah/Mrs. Mingott/Messenger)

ACTOR 7 (Theodore "Laurie" Laurence

ACTOR 8 (John Brooks/Parrot)
*John Brooks is stiff & socially awkward, a grave, silent young man. Poor but well educated. Laurie’s tutor. Can be quite stern with Laurie. * Aunt March's parrot is pure evil. A musty, disgusting bird. Probably an actual demon in parrot form.
ACTOR 9 (Mr. Laurence/Robert March)
*Mr. Laurence is Laurie’s grandfather. A wealthy gentleman who is not comfortable with emotional language. He has a gruff manner and is unintentionally frightening. Rigid sense of what is appropriate. *Robert March is the father to the March girls. He returns home after being wounded in the war; on crutches during most of his scenes, with a significant limp. No lines, but an important presence in the home. Struggles with injuries both emotional and physical.
