Four years ago in Charlottetown, P.E.I., I saw the production by professional actors and actresses. I enjoyed it then very much but not as much as wiien I saw this great musical put on by my fellow students. To start off, the. propa and scenery were juat incredible. A two-story houa. frame was built onte our stage, an actual carniage was brought in, as well as a white picket fence. I have neyer seen our stage transformi inte such a perfect s.tting in al 0f my high school histery. To add te this great scene, tiie pit band, made up of talented Andersonians, nover missed a cue. Andrea Thorndyke, w ho played tii. p iano throughout th. play, should receive an award 0f excellence for her flawless performance. I don't think anyone else could have don. a better job. As for tii. actera and actresses, Kathlyn Kelly played tiie part of Anne and suited the. part te a tee. Matthew Cuthbert was portrayed by Gordon Lieitch who did an excellent job in playing hie roIe. Marilla Cuthbert, who was played by Karen McGale, was a definite hit, as Karen's performance was incredible. Scott Currie played Gilbert Blyth. When Scott sang, it was devestating, he aounded like -a professional singer. Tuie part 0f Diana Barry was played by Robyn Grant. RobynIs singing throughout the play wa spectacular and iier performance as Diana was better than that done by the actreas who portrayed tiie part in Charlottetewn. Andrea Swain was Mes Stacy tiie echool teacher. When Andrea was performing se put hier heart and soul into tiie part which made Miss Stacy a splendid teacher. Mrs. Lynde was portrayed by Beth-Aime Aselstyne. Beth's acting was imply amazing, no one else could have portrayed this character as well as she did. At tii. lest performance were the Campb.lls, wiio wrote tiie lyrice and music ta thie version of tiie play. They were asked te corne up ou stage ta say a few words about tii. production. They said tii. performance was the. beat ane they iiad seen in 25 y.ars. Anderson's performance of 'Anne of Green Gabled gets two thumba up.
