Two new productions from The Online Stage!

I participated in two new productions, now available on Audible, as a member of The Online Stage.  First up is another book in the Anne of Green Gables series called Rainbow Valley by L.M. Montgomery.

I played the roles of Aunt Martha and Mrs. Alec Davis.  This is the seventh book in the series.

"Rainbow Valley was written in 1919 by L. M. Montgomery for the series that began with Anne of Green Gables. Anne and Gilbert's children are growing up! Their new friends, the Merediths, live in the Manse nearby. When the Merediths aren't playing in the graveyard or riding pigs through town, they meet up with the Blythes to play, fish, and study insects in Rainbow Valley!"
