Wilder Bros De Smet Pageant 2009
I hope many of you who attend the conference plan on going on to De Smet and also seeing the pageant there. It really is a different experience than the Walnut Grove conference and everyone should do both if they get the chance. The latest Pageant Perambulations column in the May 19, 2010 issue of The De Smet News by Orval Van Deest and Marian Cramer reports back about the cast of this year’s De Smet pageant, presenting The First Four Years for the very first time. Returning from last year are father and son team Perry Anderson Jr. and Perry Anderson Sr. will return as Almanzo and Pa respectively. Also returning from the Anderson family are Lucas Anderson as a banker and cousin Peter Ingalls. Two of the four Ingalls girls are returning from last year including Caitlan Ostrander as Laura and Sara Scofield who moves from playing Grace to playing Mary. Neal Martens goes from playing Mr. Loftus to playing Norwegian setttler Ole Larsen and the frontier doctor. Truus Schukking will reprise youthful Ellie Boast and James R. Miller changes roles to play the voice of the prairie funeral. Kristi Hubbard and Shawnna Singrey are working together as a narrator to blend the cast and show together.
Ma will be played by newcomer Peggy Nelson. Mackenzie Huland will play Carrie and Jessica Todd will play Grace. I’m looking forward to see what they come up with.
