Shade Tree Players Present ANNE OF GREEN GABLES at Dakota Stage, 8/11 - 14

Dakota Stage Ltd. and Shade Tree Players are proud to present Anne of Green Gables at Dakota Stage as one of the final two in house shows of their summer children's theatre season from August 11 - 14th, 2011.

This new dramatization captures the charm and excitement of L.M. Montgomery's enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first encounter with her austere guardian to her thrilling graduation from Queen's Academy. The play faithfully recreates the memorable events and characters from the brilliant novel. All the tragedies and triumphs that mark Anne's growth from adolescence to early adulthood are here: her friendship with Diana, her feuds with Gilbert, her adoration of Matthew, the mistaken wine bottle, the cake disaster, the broken leg, the scholastic achievements, and the saving of Green Gables. Whether the playgoer is an 'old friend' of Anne's or meeting her for the first time, this play will solidify a lasting friendship between the audience and one of literature's most unforgettable characters. Starring area children from 7-18 years of age, many appearing on the STP stage for the first time, this production is certain to be a fun filled, family event.

Anne of Green Gables plays from August 11th through the 13th at 7pm and 2pm on August 14th at Dakota Stage, 412 E Main Ave., Bismarck. Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children and can be purchased at the door before each performance. For additional information visit www.shadetreeplayers.com or call 701-214-1061.
