Melissa Gilbert, the childhood star of television’s Little House on the Prairie, has joined a stage production of the drama.

Gilbert, 45, who played Laura, is now starring as mother Caroline in the stage musical.

She said, “It’s an amazing experience, a real gift to be able to do it. I had never done a musical before last summer, when the show debuted. That aspect, being able to approach something totally new in this business, is a miracle.”

Gilbert also said she gains great satisfaction from charity work, with such groups as Habitat for Humanity. “People get so complacent. We get caught up in our own lives and dramas, and forget to see the bigger picture,” she said. “We rely on each other as human beings, and this show demonstrates that clearly.”
