Follow Anne Shirley as she warms the hearts of the population of Avonlea at the turn of the 20th century. We share her hopes and dreams, her conflicts, her disasters and her fulfillment. The place is Prince Edward Island, the time is 1905. Anne Shirley is an unwanted orphan who seizes her one chance at being accepted and finding happiness.

We follow Anne's adventures with Matthew and Marilla, her conflict with Rachel Linde and other members of the Ladies Aid, her friendship with soul-mate Diana Barry and her turmoil over Gilbert Blythe. The show is full of hummable tunes and youthful hi-jinks as it explores social issues that are as relevant today as they were in 1905. Share the warmth, energy and humour of an iconic Canadian family musical that has been seen around the world – from Toronto to London to Stockholm to Tokyo and places in between.

What better way to finish the year that celebrates the 150th founding of Confederation than seeing Anne of Green Gables – The Musical? Bring the family for a special Christmas treat!
