"Bend in the Road" is a new family musical based on the beloved classic novel, Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Bend in the Road tells the story of young Anne Shirley, an orphan, who is mistakenly adopted by siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert to help them on their Avonlea farm. Anne’s intelligent, joyous and imaginative ways change the lives of all those around her in this small town. Anne finds fast friendships at school and a rivalry with classmate Gilbert Blythe turns complicated as they grow up.

Produced by Susan Lambert at 134 West
