ECT opens season with classic Anne of Green Gables

FERGUS – The Elora Community Theatre begins its 47th season of theatre with a stage adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic Anne of Green Gables.
“Anne of Green Gables is celebrating its 110th anniversary of publication this year and we are hoping people of all ages will come, even if they do not have children,” said director Deb Stanson.
The play tells the beloved story of orphan Anne Shirley, who is mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a plainspoken farmer and his spinster sister, who thought they were adopting a boy.
She wins over the Cuthberts and all of PEI with her irrepressible spirit.
The play runs Dec. 7 to 9 and Dec. 14 to 16 at the Fergus Grand Theatre. Tickets are available at the box office or online www.fergusgrandtheatre.ca.
