FUTURE HOME IN EVANSTON
Northlight’s bold vision is to build a world-class theatre in Evanston, the vibrant community where Northlight began in 1974. With a new theatre in downtown Evanston, we will entertain and inspire audiences with compelling new and existing work. We’ll nurture and grow the next generation of theatregoers, expand our civic impact, spark economic development, and serve as a cultural hub for the entire community.

The world of LOUISA MAY ALCOTT`S LITTLE WOMEN is coming to life!
Set Designer @sotirios.livaditis told us all about his design process:
"The design started with the forest behind the Orchard House – the family home of Louisa May Alcott. I couldn’t stop thinking about the iconic sisters playing in the natured area. The space, like the play, is Jo’s – an imagined place she can retreat to and allow her stories to live and run wild. We soon discovered that nothing could ever belong to just one of the March sisters as the design would adopt components of Meg’s romanticism, Amy’s artistry and Beth’s innocence."
Take a look at his design process from the latest model to the first model of the iconic home of the March sisters! And grab your tickets today for #LittleWomenNLT to see this stunning design come to life - tickets at the link in our bio 🌼
