Rebecca Hale-Marilla Cuthbert

Rebecca Hale plays Marilla Cuthbert, Anne’s guardian in Avonlea. As very proper old woman who likes things being done the her way, Rebecca is looking forward to playing such a “practical” character. “Even though in the beginning, Marilla wants a boy [from the orphanage] she ends up warming up to Anne and only wants the best for her.” So far, Rebecca says that rehearsals have been, “so much fun .. I’m always excited to go.” Rebecca has taken drama as a subject at school and been involved in countless theatre productions in her home town of Ballina and at school. Rebecca thoroughly enjoys performances, as “a nice escape from all the work of school, I’m continuously getting challenged, and it’s a lot of fun.” The happiness that Rebecca gets out of performing has led her to consider a career on stage in the future. The simple advice that Rebecca has for girls who want to be on stage is, “go for it.”
