Elizabeth (Lizzie) Buckley - Gibert Blythe

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Buckley plays Gibert Blythe, the cheeky but soft-hearted admirer of Anne. Lizzie is, “..loving it. I was so excited to start rehearsals. I seem to always play a boy, so I’m used to that side of the character. But he really is a fun part to play because he has so many feelings.” Lizzie has loved participating in the arts – doing dancing, drama and choirs since she can remember. This year she is a school drama captain, and enjoys spreading news and experiences about school drama as much as engaging in it. Lizzie believes the best benefits from this performance will be the experience gained in the arts industry, an area she would love to be involved in for a career, “I love meeting new people, and I especially love the cast. They are so fun to work with .. and its great to work alongside friends. I’ve also never been in a chorus before so that’s been new and interesting.” Lizzie has some valuable advice girls hoping to one day to have a main role in a production like this, “ Seize opportunities, don’t ever think you’re not good enough. You can always achieve what you want to achieve, and it will definitely be worth it in the end.”
