ABOUT THE SHOW
When aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert send to the orphanage in Nova Scotia for a boy to help them on the farm, they get more than they bargain for. Due to a mix-up, they are instead left with 11-year-old Anne Shirley. Realizing she is special, they decide to make her part of the family! Over the course of six years, this romantic, hot-headed, and energetic girl wins their hearts and turns the stodgy, rural Canadian community into a bright world of kindred spirits. This swift yet theatrical adaptation of the classic novel by L.M. Montgomery is an all-ages crowd-pleaser. Since its publication in 1908, this timeless story has sold more than 50 million copies, has been translated into over 20 languages and is taught to schoolchildren around the world with the important message that sometimes the unexpected is exactly what you need!
