Audience Advisory »

“IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A WASTE TO LOOK AT A PERSON AND NOT ASK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THEY'RE THINKING AND FEELING AND WONDERING, DOESN'T IT?”

When Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables she’s a bit of a surprise to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, the brother and sister who had planned to adopt a boy to help out around the farm. With her tenacious spirit and winning personality, Anne earns their love and respect. But when Anne’s fiery temper causes sparks to fly in Avonlea, will she be able to win the town over too? Will her best friend Diana be lost to her forever? What about her arch nemesis Gilbert Blythe?

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Lucy Maud Montgomery’s timeless tale about the red-headed orphan longing for a forever home. Prepare to be swept off your feet once more by a fresh, new adaptation that will touch your hearts and tickle your funny bone.
