Anne of Green Gables
Sussex Theatre Collective • Student/Youth company
About the show
Sussex Theatre Collective brings LM Montgomery's timeless classic to life as a new musical. Anne Shirley, a wildly independent orphan with fiery red hair and a temper to match, is mistakenly sent to live with a plainspoken farmer and his spinster sister, who thought they were adopting a boy. She wins over the Cuthberts and all of Prince Edward Island with her irrepressible spirit and imagination. This warm, poignant story about love, home and family is cherished by generations and now presented in a production commissioned by Theatreworks USA.
Why see this show?
A beloved classic brought to life as a musical by a student and youth company — warm, poignant and full of spirit. Wonderful for families, with themes of belonging and imagination that resonate across all ages from five upwards.
