Charlotte Gribble
Charlotte Rose Gribble, sixteen, grew up on the heartwarming original story of Little Women and is thrilled and honored she can now be a part of bringing it to life on the stage. Charlotte moved from Perth, Australia over six years ago and now lives here in Atascadero, CA. She has always had a passion for the arts, and has been performing in music, theater, and dance ever since she was little. Some of the productions she had the opportunity to be a part of were Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, and numerous revues at The Paso Robles Youth Arts Foundation. Although she enjoys all aspects of the arts wholeheartedly, she takes time away to write, perform, and record original music as a hobby and aspiration for the future. With that said, she is excited you have made it to the show and hopes you relate so well as she did with each of its unique characters, getting whisked away into the beautiful story of the March girls' early years!
