The Odyssey Graphic
Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley has never known a real home. Since her parents' deaths, she's bounced around to foster homes and orphanages. When she is sent by mistake to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she wants to stay forever. But Anne is not the sturdy boy Matthew and Marilla were expecting. She's a mischievous, talkative girl with a fierce temper, who tumbles into one scrape after another. Anne is not like anybody else, and the Cuthberts agree; she is special, a girl with an enormous imagination. All she's ever wanted is to belong somewhere. And the longer she stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for anyone to imagine life without her. Produced by special arrangement with YouthPLAYS (www.YouthPLAYS.com)
 

This show is a perfect addition to any English or Drama curriculum.
