Orrville Community Players present 'Anne of Green Gables'
Orrville Community Players will present "Anne of Green Gables."
Orrville Community Players will present "Anne of Green Gables" July 12-14 and 19-21.
The time is 1908. The place is Avonlea, Canada. Green Gables is the home of lovable Matthew Cuthbert and his stern sister, Marilla. When Marilla decides to adopt an orphan boy to help Matthew with his farm work, the orphanage makes a mistake and instead sends a high-spirited redhead called Anne Shirley. With a knack for trouble and misadventure, her irresistible spunk steals everyone’s heart as the audience follows Anne’s strenuous but brimful schooldays, her attachment to her bosom friend Diana Barry, her feud with Gilbert Blythe, her contest with Josie Pye, and her undying loyalty to Matthew and Marilla.
The audience glimpses the inmost joys of a girl who only marks the hours that shine, as she struggles toward fair maidenhood.
Friday and Saturday shows will start at 7 p.m., and Sunday shows will start at 2:30 p.m. All seating is general admission, and doors will open 45 minutes prior to the start of each show.
Tickets cost $8 in advance by visiting www.tinyurl.com/OCTAnneGreenGables or $10 at the door.
