The exciting musical hit Anne
of Green Gables is corning to the
Huron Country Playhouse this
week. Canada's home-grown
musical classic promises to be
the hit of the Playhouse season.
This is a show that is always loved
by young and old alike,
Excitement at the Playhouse
builds daily, as rehearsals take
place outdoors, in front of the
theatre, in the orchestra pit, and
of course, in the rehearsal hall.
Technicians building the sets,
costume girls busily sewing,
actors studying their lines, and
dancers going over their steps are
all working hard to create the
biggest show ever presented on
the Playhouse stage,
This musical is based on Lucy
Maude Montgomery's classic tale
of an orphan girl who is mis-
takenly sent to a home that
"clearly requested a boy".
Marilla Cuthbert and her brother
Matthew accept Anne into their
home, much to Marilla's dismay.
But Anne's pluck and personality
eventually lead her into their
hearts and the hearts of everyone
in the little town of Avonlea.
Even her fiercest enemy and big-
gest competitior, Gilbert Blythe,
finally comes to love her. This
show began in Charlottetown,
P.E.I., in 1965, and has been
running there with great success
ever since. The show has had a
sellout national tour, and was also
a great success in London and
New York.
