Anne of Green Gables

By Based on the book by Lucy Maud Montgomery, Music by Nancy Ford, Book and Lyrics by Gretchen Cryer

Directed by Jessica Lanius

It is the early 1900's and the Cuthberts are expecting an orphan boy to arrive in Avonlea for them to adopt. Imagine their surprise when a spirited young girl named Anne Shirley arrives in his place! Anne's spunk and personality win over the Cuthberts, and ultimately everyone on Prince Edward Island.
