ABOUT Anne of Green Gables Auditions

Anne of Green Gables is coming to the Playhouse stage!

Since Canadian author L.M.Montogomery created the character in 1908 Anne of Green Gables has been a family favourite. The book has sold over 50 million copies. Anne has delighted succeeding generations with her struggles as an orphan to be accepted in a new school and community while remaining true to herself: as she says, she prefers to be called “Anne spelled with an E”. Her imaginative nature and positive attitude in the face of adversity and tragedy have inspired countless children.

Repertory, with director Ella Thomas are excited to offer auditions for roles in the production. Ella has chosen a dramatisation that stays true to the original characters. There are roles for at least eleven adults and a dozen young people, aged approximately 12-16, making this an excellent opportunity for aspiring young thespians. There is also one role for a girl aged between 6-10, which could be shared. Anne in the story has red hair but Ella says that this will not be a barrier and she wants to see blondes, brunettes and all colours in between at auditions. Ella would like to work with a diverse cast of actors interested in creating genuine characters.

The play will come to the stage June 7-15.

Auditions will be held Friday 23rd February 7-9pm and Saturday 24th February 2-5pm, 2024 at the Playhouse, 198 Church Street, West End, Timaru 7910.
