It all started at the Bright River railroad station on Prince Edward Island. Matthew had arrived by carriage to pick up an orphaned boy arriving from Nova Scotia. What he found instead was a scrawny, red-headed girl. “I suppose you are Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables? You’re late. I was starting to think you were’t coming.” With that, the orphan Anne Shirley began to work her way into Matthew’s heart, and ours. This delightful children’s story comes to life on the Monmouth stage for the first time, in a new adaptation by Jeri Pitcher.
