MysticArt Pictures: Where the Red Fern Grows

santiaraAnne of Green Gables tells the adventurous tale of Anne Shirley. She is a red-haired, freckled orphan who is mistakenly sent to live with an elderly bachelor, Matthew Cuthbert and his prim, spinster sister, Marilla, in the fictional town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Her wild imagination, incessant talking and fiery temper ensure that she is the centre of a series of entertaining adventures. As she matures, nurtured by the love and discipline of Marilla and Matthew, she develops into an intelligent and independent young woman who harnesses her imagination constructively. Other important characters include her best friend, Diana Barry, classmate rival and eventually love interest, Gilbert Blythe, and town gossip, Rachael Lynde.

This wonderful story is being cast by MysticArt Casting for the Focus On The Family Radio Theatre. This eight episode series will be a wonderful addition to their Radio Theatre programming.

Focus on the Family is a non-profit organization based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Part of their work is to re-introduce radio drama to the US audience. Because they believe in the power of story as part of their overarching effort in helping families, Radio Theatre dramatizes classic tales, such as A Christmas Carol or Les Miserables or The Secret Garden or C S Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, which are first and foremost great stories - but which also have a strong redemptive theme. They also produce original dramas - such as The Father Gilbert Mysteries - to explore similar ideas in a more contemporary setting. They have been awarded the George Foster Peabody Award for their production of Bonhoeffer: TheCost of Freedom. They have also been the recipient of the Audie award (The Silver Chair), The Parent's Choice award (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), the Covenant award, numerous Earphone awards, and more. Radio Theatre is heard weekly on almost 250 radio stations nationwide. They have used the talents of England's finest actors, including Academy Award Winners Paul Scofield and Ron Moody, as well as Joan Plowwright, David Suchet, Brian Blessed, Martin Jarvis, Edward Woodward, Timothy West, Jenny Agutter, Alex Jennings, Gemma Jones and many, many others.
