MTI Shows in Literature: ANNE OF GREEN GABLES
MTI Shows in Literature: ANNE OF GREEN GABLES
By EllaRose Chary on June 09, 2011

As with any adaptation, certain elements must get left out when condensing a 38-chapter novel into an hour and a half

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is a great option for community theaters and school drama departments alike. First off, it’s a great way to get new faces into the theater. It’s very common for shows based on beloved source material to spark an interest in musicals for audience members who might not otherwise consider seeing a show. Secondly, for schools, producing shows based on classic texts allows students to engage with literature in a multi-dimensional way. Finally, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES has plenty of roles for the many aspiring young actresses in your community. The cast can accommodate up to 20 people, but requires as few as 11 if there’s a small pool – and 7 of those 11 roles are women! It’s an especially great piece for theaters looking to utilize young people in the cast or that want a star vehicle. Furthermore, the small size of the orchestra makes it easy to produce.

One of the best things about musicals adapted from classic literature, like ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, is the chance to revisit a familiar story in a new way. By watching a musical of a favorite book or play, audiences can connect or reconnect with characters in a way that’s different from the text they’re used to.
