Dawson and Grams meet again!

James Van Der Beek and Mary Beth Peil, who were both on the hit WB drama Dawson’s Creek, had a mini cast reunion in New York City when Van Der Beek went to see Peil in her Tony-nominated turn as Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna in Anastasia.

Van Der Beek shared a photograph of the two in legendary Broadway hangout Sardi’s on his Instagram account, writing: “The family you make along the way ❤ (btw – the amazing #MaryBethPeil is not on the gram, but you can see her on Bway in her Tony-nominated performance in @anastasiabway ).”

The two met while working as two of the series regulars on Dawson’s Creek. Van Der Beek portrayed the titular teen heartthrob Dawson Leery, while Peil made a name for herself as the only adult character who steadily maintained a series regular contract as Jen Lindley’s (Michelle Williams) grandmother.
