Anne Shirley will grace the Ferlazzo Building stage this November alongside her beloved friends Marilla, Gilbert, Diana, and the rest of the Avonlea gang. Fans of the book, Netflix series, and older movie version, along with those not yet fans will be delighted by this live presentation of “Anne With an E.” Directed by Darcy Heisey and performed by our Homeschool Theater Troupe, this play is a great introduction, or continued opportunity, for exposure to live theatre for families of ages.
Set in a simpler time on Prince Edward Island, the story follows Anne Shirley, a young orphan sent by mistake to siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, who’d asked for a boy. Anne makes several missteps as she finds her friends, and herself, growing up in her new small town. From fighting with the boys in class to falling off the school roof to an unfortunate run-in with some cordial, you’ll laugh right along with this fun, family-friendly frolic.
