Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center
Anne Shirley, a young orphan, is sent to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, siblings in their fifties and sixties, after a childhood spent in orphanages. Marilla and Matthew decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run their farm at Green Gables. Through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne instead. At first, stern and sharp Marilla says Anne must return to the orphanage, but after much observation and considering, along with Matthew’s strong liking to Anne, she decides to let her stay. As a child of imagination, Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables.
