Wrapping up its preview weekend today, the Anne of Green Gables production team is gearing up for its official opening this upcoming Saturday, December 7th. If you were not among the audiences over the last couple days,

Generations of readers have adored the best-selling novel Anne of Green Gables, and now the musical adaptation of the beloved book hits the stage at Chance Theater. The Cuthberts expect to adopt a boy, but receive, instead, a red-haired, wide-eyed orphan girl. Though clever young Anne Shirley has a penchant for getting into trouble, she works her way into the hearts of her adoptive parents as well as the residents of rural Prince Edward Island. It’s a heartwarming story for the whole family.

The show’s director (and Chance Theater’s Managing Director) Casey Long said, “Every time I approach this show, I’m surprised by how quickly I find myself taken away by the story and charmed by its character. There’s a reason that the story of Anne Shirley coming to town of Avonlea has resonated for over a century, and my cast and crew feel a very strong obligation to staying true to the story that people fell in love with growing up, while also exploring an interesting theatrical approach that brings more focus to the story of Avonlea as a whole. I want to reassure the legions of Anne’s fans that all their favorite moments will be in the show, and this cast is going to light up the stage with the true spirit of the people of Anne Shirley’s Avonlea.”
