Synopsis:
Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew request an orphan boy to help work
their farm, but are mistakenly sent the high-spirited red-headed 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, "looses" 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, and resourceful, full of irresistible imagination.
Marilla and Matthew admit she is the best thing that ever happened to them, and
Anne comes to understand she is a loved, worthwhile person.
All roles are volunteer positions.
