St. Luke's Seniors To Work for Thrown Stone Theatre

Three St. Luke’s graduating seniors plan to spend the summer working in professional theater at Ridgefield’s Thrown Stone Theatre. Jacqui Holzberger (New Canaan) and Chloe Kekedjian (New Canaan), return as production veterans this year, and Gabby Mitchell (Norwalk) joins the company for the first time. All three have played vital roles in St. Luke’s theatre productions throughout their time at the School.

Chloe reprises her role as Production Stage Manager for The Arsonists. Jacqui plans to don two hats as Assistant Stage Manager and Assistant Lighting Designer on that production as well as Where All Good Rabbits Go, for which Gabby will be Production Stage Manager.

“My experience at Thrown Stone has been amazing,” Chloe told a Ridgefield publication. “I’ve gotten to work with talented and experienced actors, directors and technicians who have treated me as their peer and taught me a lot about the world of professional theatre.”

As Founder and Co-Artistic Director of Thrown Stone Theatre, St. Luke’s Director of Theatre Arts Jason Peck has seen firsthand the strong production skills of all three young women. Peck shared, “These three may be students but they exude the confidence and skills that surpass many theatre professionals. They are all rock stars!”
