THEATRE OFF THE SQUARE IN WEATHERFORD proudly presents the second production of their 2017 Season of Shows. Anne of Green Gables, adapted by Peter DeLaurier, is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. The comedy/drama is directed by Kesiah Jung Morris, with Mabel Reaves as Assistant Director, and Coty McNiel as Assistant Director and Stage Manager.

When aging brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, send to the orphanage in Nova Scotia for a boy to help them on the farm, they get more than they bargain for. Due to a mix-up, they are instead left with 11-year-old Anne Shirley. Over the course of six years, this romantic, hot-headed, and energetic girl wins their hearts and turns the stodgy, rural Canadian community into a bright world of "kindred spirits." This swift yet theatrical adaptation of the classic novel is an all-ages crowd-pleaser.

Members of the cast are Jade Hebbert as Anne Shirley; Joyce Eckstein as Marilla Cuthbert; Mike Smiddy as Matthew Cuthbert; Hayley Vantine as Diana Barry; Daniel Davis as Gilbert Blythe; Ford Ramirez as Moody Spurgeon; Gwen Swinehart as Rachel Lynde; Rachel Acree as Mrs. Spencer/Mrs. Barry; Emma McKay as Jose Pye; Carmen Rivera as Jane Andrews; and Caiti Milner as Ruby Gillis.
