Anne of Green Gables

Adapted by: Jody Johnston Davidson, from the Lucy Maud Montgomery classic. Original music from TAC's own Paul Baldwin.

A new musical version of the classic story by Lucy M. Montgomery! Set in early 20th century Canada, Anne of Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley, a troubled yet imaginative orphan, who is adopted by an elderly woman and her brother to help care for their farm. Through her unique outlook on life (and misadventures), she transforms the lives of her new guardians, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, as well as the sleepy, provincial little town of Avonlea. Featuring a cast of approximately 24 characters and eight new songs composed by the director specifically for this production, Anne of Green Gables is a musical delight for the whole family!

Directed by: Paul Baldwin

Show Runs: Feb 18 - Mar 6


Treasure Island

Adapted by: Joseph George Caruso, from the Robert Louis Stevenson classic.

Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, this is the same rousing adventure story that premiered Off-Broadway. It received unanimous critical acclaim. Parents Magazine considered it, "First rate all the way, a delightful experience," and the New York Times called it an "inventive classic." Treasure Island is certainly one of the most durable adventure stories of all time, with the villainous Long John Silver following young Jim across the ocean to search out a buried fortune on Treasure Island.
Auditions: March 6, 7 @ 6:30 p.m.
Show Runs: Apr 22 - May 7
