And on a different occasion, her older sister Meg gives him a brooch, perhaps a bit more mature piece of jewelry than a bangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Quite often, costumes don&#8217;t get to function in that way,&#8221; said Melissa Gilbert, Transylvania University\u2019s new resident costume designer and theater instructor, who was part of a musical production of &#8220;Little Women&#8221; this past spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transylvania&#8217;s version runs Nov. 9-13 in Little Theater. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/little-women-by-kate-hamill-at-transy-university-theater-tickets-441610076627\">Reserve free tickets to the show<\/a>, guest directed by Derrick Ledbetter and written by Kate Hamill, who gives us a fresh interpretation of Louisa May Alcott&#8217;s classic coming-of-age novel. (Also, Transylvania President Brien Lewis, <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/transylvania\/docs\/2020_summer_issuu\/s\/10900002\">who has a theater background<\/a>, will appear in the play.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theater program director Tosha Fowler said she\u2019s loved the story since childhood, and hearing Gilbert talk about it gave her a deeper understanding of the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilbert said the story captures the out-of-control nature of adolescence, where everything matters <em>a lot<\/em> \u2014 and, in particular, it shows how these 19th century girls struggled to fit their hopes and dreams into a society that saw female youths as either children or &#8220;little women&#8221; (i.e. forced into adult roles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s one of the most exciting scripts I&#8217;ve read in at least 10 years,&#8221; Gilbert said. &#8220;The writing is so smart and quick.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2-730x486.jpg\" alt=\"headshot of a woman\" class=\"wp-image-20998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2-730x486.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2-810x539.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/11\/transylvania_little_women_2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption>Melissa Gilbert, resident costume designer and theater instructor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the story is set in the Civil War era, the costumes and language are contemporary, which is part of a trend in theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, through the clothing, Gilbert was able to harken back to Victorian times by playing with patterns and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She noted how the university supports opportunities like this for faculty and students to be creative, which is something she&#8217;s been looking for. Originally from Arizona, Gilbert earned a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa and served as a wardrobe supervisor and costume associate for the Olney Theater Center near Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilbert, who also led ghost tours in the D.C. area, said Transylvania reminds her of her own undergraduate experience of a tight-knit school community. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to see my students grow.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/calendar\/calendar-of-events\/theater-season\">Find out more<\/a> about Transylvania Theater&#8217;s production of
