Synopsis
Anne of Avonlea
Published by Dramatic Publishing
Large Mixed Cast
From her first days as a young teacher to her departure for Redmond College, we are re-acquainted with such old friends as Marilla Cuthbert, Rachel Lynde, Diana Barry and Gilbert Blythe
We also meet many new ones: a cantankerous neighbor, Mr Harrison (and his offstage parrot!); the mysterious Miss Lavendar; the beguiling Charlotta the Fourth; the irrepressible twins, Dora and Davy; and Anne's lively, but (usually) lovable, high-spirited students
Rejoin Anne and enjoy the embarrassment of mistakenly selling Mr Harrison's cow, the anxiety of her first day teaching school, the humorous essay-writing assignment, the plum marmalade incident, the encounter with Miss Lavendar, the devastating storm and its aftermath, and the wedding at Echo Lodge
There are also flashbacks to Anne's young life and how she came to leave at Green Gables. Anne of Avonlea is ideal for junior highs, high schools and community theatres and is a true ensemble piece
This heartwarming and humorously uplifting play will be fondly remembered by audiences and performer alike long after the final curtain
