On July 18, 2025, Arboretum Village hosted a lively Talent Show featuring 10 entertaining acts. A total of 27 participants – including residents, grandchildren, and staff – took the stage to showcase their talents. The audience enjoyed a wide variety of performances, from singing and piano to comedy, gymnastics, dance, and even card tricks.

The grand finale brought the house down with a hilarious and heartwarming tribute to Gilligan’s Island. As the theme song played, a spirited cast of “castaways” danced their way into the Community Room, filling it with laughter and nostalgia.

The grand finale cast included:

  • Gilligan – Warren Francke (Resident)
  • Skipper – Scott Wickwire (Maintenance Assistant)
  • Thurston Howell III – Jim Suttle (Resident)
  • “Lovey” Howell – Deb Suttle (Resident)
  • Ginger – Tiffany Starr (Retirement Living Consultant)
  • Professor – Michael Daly (Maintenance Assistant)
  • Mary Ann – Amy Keiter (Executive Assistant)

The production was brought to life by Stephanie Nimmer, Life Enrichment Manager, whose creativity and coordination made the show a memorable success.

What a fantastic way to wrap up a fun-filled event!
