With Jude Mead at the guitar and with great enthusiasm, members of the Isabella Eldridge Club defied a threatened winter storm and entered Battell Chapel on Feb. 10 for a memorable performance of an episode of “Gilligan’s Island,” a daft 1960s television comedy. Despite the best efforts of the Professor (played by Marinell Crippen, left) the passengers of the Minnow remained lost on their desert island. The Skipper (played by Jan Graham-Jones, center) failed to prevent the hapless Gilligan (played by Hilary VanWright, right) from ruining their chances of being rescued. The performance, directed by Ann DeCerbo and Kristin Mudge, included 18 Isabellas and one honorary member in John DeShazo who provided sound effects and a rope swing. The club, founded in 1912, chose “islands” as the theme for the 2025-26 program year.
