The Family of Mary Kay Fyda-Mar


On the Cripe Stage… 

Generations of readers have adored Anne of Green Gables, and now you can see the classic story come to life in this musical adaptation. The Cuthberts expect to adopt a boy, but receive, instead, a red-haired, wide-eyed orphan girl. Though clever young Anne Shirley has a penchant for getting into trouble, she works her way into the hearts of her adoptive parents as well as the residents of rural Prince Edward Island. It’s a heartwarming story for the whole family.

Recommendation: Wonderful for the entire family, ages 4 and up.

“A dynamic performance is found beating strongly at the heart of Chance Theater’s ‘Anne of Green Gables’.”OC Register

“Whether you’re an “old friend” of Anne’s or meeting her for the first time, this play will solidify a lasting friendship with one of literature’s most unforgettable characters”The Show Report
