I COULD NEVER LOVE ANYONE... is a dance musical that centers a person with substance use disorder and their siblings as they face this family disorder together.

"I could never love anyone as much as I love my sisters", a quote from LITTLE WOMEN, inspired Katharine to draw from their lived experience and turn a personal coping mechanism with family trauma into healing for the Recovery community and beyond.
