‘Anne of Green Gables’ to be presented March 3-5

Wayland Theatriks will present “Anne of Green Gables” from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 3, at the Wayland High School Fine Arts Center, 870 W. Superior St.

The play also will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday, March 4, and again at 3 and 7 p.m. p.m. Saturday, March 5.

This new dramatization captures the charm and excitement of L.M. Montgomery’s enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first encounter with her austere guardian to her thrilling graduation from Queen’s Academy.

All the tragedies and triumphs that mark Anne’s growth from adolescence to early adulthood are here: her friendship with Diana, her feuds with Gilbert, her adoration of Matthew, the mistaken wine bottle, the cake disaster, the broken leg, the scholastic achievements, and the saving of Green Gables
