FRIDAY through SUNDAY

November 3-5 (Repeats Nov.10-12; 17-19)….LCT Presents: Anne of Green Gables - A refreshing, contemporary telling of the classic story. Stern Marilla and her warm-hearted brother Matthew hoped to adopt a boy to work on their farm. But the orphanage sends young, befreckled Anne by mistake, and their lives will never be the same. Her warmth and wit affect everyone around her – even, eventually, the cold Marilla. We follow Anne through her rebellious years, her transformation into a young woman, and her romantic pairing with Gilbert. This play has been charming audiences around the world. “Anne of Green Gables” suits community theatre with a varied cast, simple set, and characters familiar to all of us. This version of the novel is concise yet detailed, humorous and bittersweet.” “Anne of Green Gables” is written by L. M. Montgomery and directed by Amber Langhennig . Play is by Sylvia Ashby (Lubbock playwright). Lubbock Community Theatre, 4232 Boston Ave., Ste B; Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.
