BISHOP HILL STATE HISTORIC SITE: Louisa May Alcott At The 2020 Bishop Hill Chautauqua

Books

Bishop Hill State Historic Site recently issued the following announcement.

In preparation for this Saturday’s Bishop Hill Chautauqua, the BHHA will be previewing each of the afternoon performances. Our 2nd performance begins at 2 p.m. at the park gazebo with Leslie Goddard portraying Louisa May Alcott.

In 2018, the classic book Little Women turns 150 years old.

Mark the occasion with this newly revised living-history portrayal of beloved author Louisa May Alcott by awardwinning actress Leslie Goddard. Miss Alcott shares stories of her poverty-filled childhood, her struggles to succeed as a writer, and how Little Women came to be.

Due to Covid-19, this year’s Chautauqua is a reservation only event, with the Louisa May Alcott performance already fully booked. Hopefully, next year, we will have more spots available for our guests.
