Whidbey Children’s Theater will present “Anne of Green Gables” in its fourth production of the season next week.

The play follows Anne Shirley, a “fantastically unique” and strong-willed redhead, as she navigates a new life after being adopted by Matthew and Marilla.

Melanie Lowey will direct the show, which is based upon the 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

The show opens at 7 p.m. May 8 at Whidbey Children’s Theater. It will run at 7 p.m. May 9, 15 and 16 and at 2 p.m. May 10 and 17. The May 16 performance is a specially priced family show for which all tickets cost $8. For all other performances, tickets cost $8 for students, $12 for seniors and $15 for adults.

The play is recommended for ages 4 and older. No babes in arms or late seating.
