Year 9 Play - Anne of Green Gables
Loreto Mandeville Hall Toorak Year 9 students recently performed a production of Anne of Green Gables. This beloved story of an imaginative, irrepressible, intelligent orphan was adapted by former School Captain, Meg Taranto (2017), into an edited stage version that highlights the key moments of Anne’s journey to adulthood. It was brought to life by a small cast of committed Year 9 actors who embodied the well-known characters, including Gilbert Blythe, Rachel Lynde, Diana Barry and Marilla Cuthbert, with impressive talent. Several past and present Loreto Toorak students assisted with the design and direction of the show, most notably co-directors Isabella Ellis and Libby-Rose McCallum in Year 11.
Our students did not disappoint: stage props and set designs were exceptional, the actors showed extraordinary talent that belied their years. Audiences were thrilled with the talents of our wonderful students and were excited to be present again in the Crescent Theatre.
Please join with us in acknowledging the fabulous skills of Loreto Toorak students.
