Theatre Kent is presenting the musical family favourite Anne Of Green Gables from Nov. 10 to Nov. 12 at the Kiwanis Theatre in Chatham.
The Canadian classic tells the story of Anne Shirley a young orphan who is taken in by Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert.
The show is being directed by Bill Craven, who has appeared onstage in a number of Theatre Kent musicals, but is taking the helm for the first time.
Elisabeth Enzlin directs both the voices and the full orchestra.
The large cast consists of some 50 local residents, from ages nine to 60.
The title role is being played by 15-year-old CKSS student Georgia Craven, with other key characters being played by Christine Baribeau, Ron Fleming, Avery Kosik and Sam Enzlin.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. all three nights, and a special matinee will take place on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m.
For this show only, Theatre Kent is offering a special children’s ticket price of $10 for youngsters aged 12 and under. Adult tickets are $22 and senior’s tickets are $20, exclusive of box office fees.
