Fremont High School Theater presents a timeless family classic Anne of Green Gables on May 6, 7 and 8 at the Dogwood Center. Written by L.M. Montgomery and dramatized by Joseph Robinette, this classic follows the life of orphan Anne Shirley as she tries to find her place in a quiet Canadian town.
When again 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.
The cast is led by seniors including Cassondra Murphy as Anne Shirley, Heather Warfield as Marilla Cuthbert, and Zach Francis as Matthew Cuthbert. Other seniors include Emily Zahrt as Rachel Lynde, Sarah Smith as Diana Berry, and Tonya Pell as Josie Pye. Gilbert Blythe is played by senior Trevor Bacon, while Matt Cummings plays the role of a conscientious teacher. Twenty-three other actors are included in the cast under the stage management of Kaylah Berndt. Tim Bitson and Briana Jones run the technical aspect of the production while the entire production is managed by Anna Deur.
