Caroline Fredette (she/her) is ecstatic to be serving as your drama club President for the 2022-2023 school year! This is her fourth year as a Theatre on the James member, as well as her third year holding a leadership position in the organization. In her time outside of theatre, Caroline is an active member of her school’s speech & debate team and enjoys film, fashion, and hanging out with friends. She loves being a part of the drama club, as it gives her a place where she can express herself and make new friends. Let’s make this year one for the books!
Abigail Brooks is the Drama Club Vice President. She is a Junior this year and she is eager to work hard to make everyone feel welcome at TOTJ. Abigail loves to act and be on stage, however, she also loves to be behind the scenes as well. She was on the sound team for TOTJ’s production of Clue and she was front of house of Into the Woods. During the winter one acts, Abigail performed as Juliet in When Shakespeare’s Ladies meet and Company in Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon. She is beyond excited to meet new people and get to know everyone better this year.
Montgomery Jones is so honored to be the Secretary of Theatre on the James. She has been a part of Theatre on the James for 3 years now and served as Press Secretary from 2021-2022. You may have seen her in Theatre on the James’ productions of Into the Woods (Cinderella’s Stepmother), Soap Opera (Washing Machine), Clue (Yvette), Jane Austen Completely Zoomed (Emma Woodhouse/Bingley), or Elves: Disaster in the Control Room (Blinky). She looks forward to another great year with Theatre on the James!
Frances Baker is a senior at James River and is the Publicity Officer for TOTJ. As the Publicity officer she will do everything she can to publicize our team, our shows, fundraisers, and events. She is so lucky to be a part of such a welcoming and tight community as well as doing something she loves so much. She doesn’t do much on stage but backstage is where she thrives. She loves working under pressure and being involved in everything behind the scenes. After working and observing the MANY different roles that it takes to put a show on its feet she has found that Publicity is where she belongs.
Michael Thomas is a senior, who is completing his first year as Drama Club officer after four years participating in the program. Though he is found mostly on the stage, he has stage managed and worked backstage. He is so stoked to be working alongside so many talented Troupe members this year and can’t wait to make the most of it.
Frances Roberts (Fran) is super excited to be Troupe 5953’s historian this year! She is in 10th grade this year and can not wait to spend an amazing year with the troupe!
