The Charlottetown Festival will have a new Gilbert Blythe in this summer’s production of Anne of Green Gables: The Musical.
J.J. Gerber is more than excited to be the next actor to play Avonlea’s beloved Gilbert.
Gerber just wrapped up Grease at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto where he played Sonny’s understudy. Last year Gerber played Troy in Stratford’s A Chorus Line. He is currently playing Eddie in Citadel’s production of Mamma Mia!
This will be Gerber’s Charlottetown festival debut and he’ll do so opposite AJ Bridel who will again be playing the role of Anne Shirley.
The Adam Brazier-directed production is in year two of a major three-year refresh, and he is pleased to announce that this summer there will be a new revolving stage.
