"Anne of Green Gables" Play Seeks Teenagers

Audition for "Anne of Green Gables" Play. Ages 14 and up. See breakdown below for more specifics. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: In this faithful, unsentimental dramatization of the first part of the beloved classic, Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew request an orphan boy to help work their farm. They mistakenly sent the high-spirited, red-headed named Anne Shirley. Knowing they are ill-equipped to raise a child, Marilla attempts to send Anne back to the orphanage. With Matthew lobbying to keep Anne, Marilla ultimately agrees to let her stay at Green Gables. The trials and tribulations Marilla fears come to pass as Anne insults Marilla’s best friend, “loses” Marilla’s most cherished brooch, smacks the school’s prize pupil with a slate, and inadvertently gets her best friend, Diana, drunk on cherry cordial. She also turns out to be bright, charming, resourceful, and full of irresistible imagination. Marilla and Matthew admit she is the best thing that has ever happened to them, and Anne comes to understand she is a loved, worthwhile person.
