The Cadby Theater was buzzing last week as the Gunston Players brought the classic story of the March family to the stage. The production was anchored by the dedicated performances of the sisters: Violet Borland ’27 (Josephine), Lily Weny ’26 (Jo), Chloe Bennett ’27 (Meg), Caroline Thomas ’26 (Amy), and Ellie Krafchik ’28 (Beth).

The show’s success was a true ensemble effort, featuring a cast that spanned every grade level:

• Class of ’26: Ava Augustus (Marmee), Arlo Badger (Laurie), and Nevin Porter (Professor Bhaer).
• Class of ’27: Duda DaSilva (Sarah).
• Class of ’28: Kate Doffermyre (Hannah), Cooper Joebchen (John Brooke), Schuyler Dreeke (Mr. March), and Meredith Dalzell (Ms. Moffett).
• Class of ’29: Zev Bleich (Mr. Laurence), Sami Bird (Aunt March), Millie Lewis (Claira & Miss Tomlinson), Bella Zagami (Jenny), Keeley Trond (Mary), Kasiah Telligman (Katy), Emma Faff (Mrs. Kirke), Halle Harper (Kitty), and Mercer Rensberger (Minnie).

Behind the scenes, the Stage Crew—Will Hoelz ’28, Cameron Koterwas ’29, Maggie Lindsay ’29, Ellie Murphy ’29, and Wren Weingaertner ’26—worked alongside Lights & Sound lead Harrison Lavery ’26 to keep the production running smoothly.

Special thanks to the GIVE Club and all the volunteers whose fundraising efforts made this performance a win for both the arts and our community. Congratulations to the directors, Ms. Kate Larrimore and Dr. Ryan Asprion, and Stage Crew Director Mrs. Jess Coner for a wonderful show!
