As the Gonzaga Spring Musical, Into The Woods, gives its final performances this weekend, S1E25 of the Echo Ever Proudly podcast is the second part of our Spring salute to the Gonzaga Theater.

Last week, we heard GDA Hall of Fame memories from cast members from the 1972 production of Damn Yankees. This week, the spotlight shifts to three women whose talents have helped the Gonzaga Dramatic Association reach new heights over the last two decades: Meghan Goldsmith, JZ Zaeske, and Sarah Frances Hope Williams.

All three women have added their unique talents, perspective, and leadership, to raise the bar for the drama students on Eye Street. Longtime Gonzaga faculty member, as well as GDA Club moderator, Paul Buckley '86 joins the conversation and shares his appreciation for how these three women (among other recent additions to the program) have improved the student theater experience on Eye Street.

What was each woman's path to Gonzaga? What moments and performances stand out from their favorite shows? And why are active parents so important to the GDA?

Hear their inspiring answers, insights, and more in Episode 25 of the Echo Ever Proudly podcast. Follow, Subscribe and Share with anyone who you know loves Gonzaga!
