About the Show
​
Anne of Green Gables Jr. is a stage adaptation of L.M. Montgomery’s classic novel, tailored for young actors and audiences. The play follows the journey of Anne Shirley, a lively and imaginative orphan, who is mistakenly sent to live with the Cuthberts—an elderly brother and sister—in the quiet town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. A delightful production for audiences of all ages, Anne’s journey from orphan to beloved community member is inspiring and touching.
