DM Playhouse Presents ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, 9/30-10/16

The Des Moines Community Playhouse's Kate Goldman Children's Theatre presents "Anne of Green Gables," Sept. 30-Oct. 16, 2011. Tickets may be purchased online at www.dmplayhouse.com; by phone at 515-277-6261; and at The Playhouse ticket office, 831 42nd St. "Anne of Green Gables" is sponsored by ITA Group.

Brother and sister Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert live at Green Gables farm. When they decide to adopt an orphan to help on The Farm, they expect a boy. Instead, they get a freckled, red-haired girl named Anne Shirley. All the tragedies and triumphs that mark Anne's growth from adolescence to early adulthood are here: her friendship with Diana and their escapade with the mistaken wine bottle, her feuds with Gilbert, her adoration of Matthew, the cake disaster, the broken leg, and the saving of Green Gables.

"Anne of Green Gables" is based on the beloved book by L.M. Montgomery. The Playhouse cast of 22 features Abigail Feldman as Anne Shirley, Cate Miller as Marilla Cuthbert, and Paul Miller as Matthew Cuthbert. The show is directed by Kathy Pingel.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
