What could be more appropriate for the coming of spring than a classic coming-of-age story? The Players Club of Swarthmore Theater will be putting Anne of Green Gables on its stage, starting March eighteenth.
It's the story of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert (they'd asked for a boy, you see). But the impetuous, outspoken and delightful Anne wins them over. The play comes straight from the pages of the beloved classic by Lucy Maud Montgomery. You will fall in love with Anne once again, and perhaps introduce her to someone new.
Directors Bruce and Millie Nutting of Glen Mills have assembled a talented cast from around the area to bring this classic to the stage: Alyssa and Andrea Marino of Berwyn; Alex Yurcaba of Lansdowne; Diane Seader of Lower Gwynedd; Ken Wilson of Springfield; Cathy Baum, Luke Clements, Daisy Getz, Mina Lezenby and Margaret Mester of Swarthmore; Dylan Harrington of Wallingford; Cara and Elizabeth Latham of Wayne, and Jonathan Dalecki of Wilmington, DE.
Anne of Green Gables runs March 18-20, 24-27 and 31- April 2. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at 8pm, with Sunday matinées at 2pm. Tickets are $15 for Adults, $14 for Seniors and $8 for students (18 and under or college students with ID). All tickets and ticket packages are available the day of the performance at the box office, or may be purchased in advance by visiting www.pcstheater.org or calling 1-866-811-4111 (ticket sales through TheaterMania). For Info or Group Sales: 610-328-4271.
