Friday, May 20th, 2022
Macon Little Theatre (MLT) opens the stage and film classic, Anne of Green Gables this weekend. Based on the novel by L. M. Montgomery, Green Gables is the home of lovable Matthew Cuthbert and his stern sister, Marilla. They agree to adopt a boy to help with the farm work. Imagine their consternation when Anne Shirley, a girl in her teens, is sent by the orphanage by mistake. Anne touches Matthew's heart with her vivid imagination and her charitable viewpoint, but it takes time to reach the tender heart beneath Marilla's hard exterior. Famed American writer, Wilbur Braun, under the pseudonym Alice Chadwicke, adapted the novel Anne of Green Gables into a three-act play in 1937. This is a comedy for the whole family.
