Auditions for "Anne of Green Gables" Scheduled

Auditions for Anne of Green Gables will be held July 30th from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m., July 31st from 10:00 a.m.– 12:00 noon and Aug 2nd and 3rd from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Giffey Hall in Ridgeville Corners. No preparation is required. You will be asked to read from the script. We are looking for adults and chil-dren, ages 5 on up. There are many roles to fill. This would be a great show for full families to get involved in. We also need five stage hands that will move set pieces and props while the show is going on. If the whole family doesn’t want to be on stage, part of the family could be in the pro-duction, and the other members help with crew. All are welcome!!

This story begins when elderly Marilla Cuthbert and her shy brother, Matthew, decide to adopt an orphan to help with farm work. They expect a boy to arrive at the train station, but instead, a talkative, imaginative girl with fiery red hair and a taste for romance shows up – Anne (with an E) Shirley. "What use will she be to them?" asks reserved Marilla. But, tender-hearted Matthew feels they might be of some use to Anne. It turns out that all three are much more than useful to one another – they’re as vital as breathing.

In joyful, hilarious adventures familiar to generations of readers of the beloved classic novel, Anne apologizes to neighbor Rachel Lynde, finds a bosom friend in Diana Barry, saves Diana’s little sister, deals with the loss of Marilla’s amethyst brooch, meets Gilbert Blythe, bemoans her hair, falls off a roof, and nearly drowns.

Join the cast of this fun and adventurous show. Create a memory within your family as you work together to create a perfor-mance many will remember for generations. Plan to audition now! To be directed by Brenda Canada.
