Lexington Opera House

What makes Anne (with an 'e') so appealing? Perhaps it is her red hair and freckles, her fiery temper, her penchant for mischief or her obsession with drama and romance. But what makes Anne Shirley so remarkable is her ability to love wholeheartedly and forgive completely. Join Anne on her journey to Green Gables, the home of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, where she finds a bosom friend, kindred spirits and the family she has always longed for. Once you meet Anne Shirley, you will never forget her.
