ALBANY — Anne Shirley, based on the central character of the book series by Canadian author Lucy Maud (L.M.) Montgomery, will come to the stage in Albany to work her magic on the residents of Prince Edward Island when the curtain rises Friday evening on Theatre Albany’s production of “Anne of Green Gables.”
“She (Montgomery) wrote it in the early 20th century,” Theatre Albany Director Mark Costello said last week before a dress rehearsal for the show that opens at 8 p.m. Friday. “It was a series of books, and this (play) is based on the first book.”

“Anne of Green Gables” is the story of Anne Shirley, a “loquacious orphan” who overcomes odds, misadventures and misconceptions to win the hearts of a farm couple, and their friends and acquaintances. The play was adapted from Montgomery’s 1908 novel of the same name by R.N. Sandberg.
