Lucy Maud Montgomery's enduring classic of love, fun, friendship, and sacrifice on Prince Edward Island has all the story's famous characters: Marilla, Gilbert, Diana, Matthew, and more.

Located at 800 Tyson Street, Knoxville, TN 37917. Information: 865-599-5284, www.childrenstheatreknoxville.com, info@childrenstheatreknoxville.com.

CTK will present “Anne of Green Gables,” a warmly funny
and touchingly dramatic play based on the classic novel by
Lucy Maud Montgomery.

Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are a lonely brother and sister,
who work tirelessly on their farm in rural Nova Scotia.
They decide to adopt a boy to help them, but Matthew
can’t resist an imaginative, headstrong girl he meets at
the orphanage. She is Anne Shirley, a fiercely independent
girl with red hair and freckles. Anne’s adventures with her
school friends, her on-again, off-again flirtation with
Gilbert Blythe, her struggles to fit into Canadian society,
and her triumphs as well as her failures are all brought
vividly to life by 18 remarkable young actors. In this
multi-layered, modern version, Anne’s story serves as
an escape for a young girl, reading the book, proving
the plot of “Anne of Green Gables” is as relevant today
than ever.

The presentation is 12:55-1:50 p.m. in the Goins Building Auditorium on the Pellissippi Campus, 10915 Hardin Valley Road. The community is invited to attend.

The Student Life and Recreation Office will pass out pocket constitutions to those in attendance. Faizer joined the LMU faculty as an assistant professor of law this past

Faizer was the first person to be awarded the Hanna S. Cohn Young Lawyer award by the New York State Bar Association for pro bono legal service to his community. The award is presented annually to only one attorney in the state, based on the recommendation of that attorney's local bar association.
