Overview

Synopsis

Adapted from L.M. Montgomery’s beloved novel of the same name, Peter DeLaurier’s Anne of Green Gables follows the story of the feisty orphan, Anne Shirely. Adopted from an orphanage in Nova Scotia by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, Anne Shirely’s acclimation to life in Avonlea isn’t exactly smooth sailing. The Cuthbert siblings wanted a quiet boy to help out around their farm, but instead they recieve Anne, a redheaded, freckle-faced, free spirit who turns their lives upside down with her quirky behaviour. Follow Anne as she navigates school, friendship, and life in Avonlea through this charming coming-of-age tale. Anne of Green Gables is sure to warm the hearts of audience members, both old and young.
