Pontiac Theatre IV presents Anne of Green Gables -- The Musical as the first production of its 2014-2015 season this and next weekend, November 14, 15, 21, and 22 at Pontiac High School.
Based on the classic novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables -- The Musical depicts the charming story of the irrepressible redheaded orphan who stumbles her way through a series of scrapes, makes a bosom friend, and searches for (and finds) several kindred spirits in her now town of Avonlea. Pontiac Theatre IV's production is produced and directed by John Tonner, assistant directed by Jo Anne Kroll, music directed by Shari Fiore, and choreographed by Sharon Heltsley. Tickets for the show are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and children under 12. Attendees may also bring a non-perishable food item to donate to Gleaners Community Food Bank to receive a free popcorn from the concession stand. The show is general admission and tickets will be available at the door. Anne of Green Gables -- The Musical features a book by Don Harron, music by Norman Campbell, and lyrics by Don Harron, Norman Campbell, Elaine Campbell, and Mavor Moore. The musical has been performed continuously ever since 1965, making it Canada's longest-running musical.
