Japanese reading from Anne of Green Gables

Mr. Haruo Matsumaru, Reading Instructor at the ASAHI Culture School in Tokyo, and his colleague, Ms. Sayuri Nishikawa, will be giving a Japanese reading of passages from the L.M. Montgomery novel Anne of Green Gables. Actor Julia Lenardon from the Montgomery Theatre in Cavendish will be on hand to recite the same passages in English. (Julia performs 3 times a week as L.M. Montgomery in Maud of Cavendish at Green Gables House in the National Park.)

Mr. Matsumaru won a trip to Prince Edward Island for submitting the winning essay in a special essay contest offered jointly by the Canadian Tourism Commission, Tourism PEI and Japanese publisher Shincho-sha. The contest was offered last year in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the publication of Prince Edward Island’s most famous novel. Mr. Matsumaru’s essay explored ‘Anne's voice’ in the novel.

The Montgomery Theatre, the L.M.Montgomery Institute, the Confederation Centre Art Gallery and the Friends of the Confederation Centre Public Library are pleased to be supporting this special event.
Please join us for refreshments following the readings.
