Meghan Kocher
as Meg
Meghan is thrilled to be bringing the character of, ironically, Meg March to life in her first performance on the OPCT stage. So far, her favorite role has been Katherine in Newsies, but this cast and story are special and she has had a blast working to honor Lousia May Alcott's vision. She is especially grateful to her family, friends, and "sisters" for their support.

Kaylee Byers
as Jo
Kaylee is seventeen, and was born in Lafayette, Indiana. She's starred in very few shows, but is proud to say this is her second performance at OPCT. She's grateful to be able to portray Josephine March and hopes she can capture the same fiery passion Louisa May Alcott intended her to have. She is especially grateful to her fellow cast mates, especially her "sisters".
