The final performances for Anne of Green Gables are this weekend, Friday, April 14, and Saturday, April 15.

This is Fountain Hills Youth Theater’s YABOY production. Friday’s show begins at 7 p.m. with the final performance starting at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Anne of Green Gables is based on the novel by L.M. Montgomery and adapted for the stage by Peter DeLaurier.

When aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert send to an orphanage in Nova Scotia for a boy to help them on the farm, they get more than they bargain for. Due to a mix-up, they are instead left with 11-year-old Anne Shirley. Over the course of six years, this romantic, hot-headed, and energetic girl wins their hearts and turns the stodgy, rural Canadian community into a bright world of “kindred spirits.”

Anne of Green Gables is Fountain Hills Youth Theater’s 15th YABOY production. YABOY is an acronym for “Young Actors Benefiting Other Youth,” a program created by Youth Artistic Director Ross Collins, in 2002.

The production will play at the Youth Theater located at 11445 N. Saguaro Blvd.
