Middletown Christian schools are going to be presenting “Anne of Green Gables.” They are inviting the community to come and watch the story of an orphan girl with a kindred spirit. The show will be held today March 13th and Saturday March 14th at 7 p.m. at their school which is located at 3011 N. Union Road.

The play Anne of Green Gables is a classic novel that re-creates about a young red-haired girl that was adopted by middle-aged siblings who were expecting a boy. She ends up growing close to this family and staying with them. Senior Alexis Curtis was interviewed by the Middletown Journal and said that Anne is someone that people of all ages can relate to. Curtis plays Anne Shirley in the play.  

Curtis also said the play has its serious moments as well as fun moments. Throughout the play the audience will see how Anne get’s into a lot of trouble and mischief but she also gets more mature along the way.  The cast for the play features around 30 students from elementary school age to high school seniors. Fourteen year-old Ben Bowling told Megan Engle of the Middletown Journal that he thinks it is just fun being with everybody and bonding. Matthew plays Anne’s new guardian, Matthew Cuthbert.
