At the turn of the 20th century on Prince Edward Island, siblings Matthew and Marilla want to adopt a boy to help on their farm. When Anne arrives – a girl with red braids and a fiery personality – their lives are transformed in unexpected way. The confidence and pluck of ”Anne with an ‘E’” breaks down walls and brings her adopted community of Avonlea to life. With its timeless themes of belonging, resilience, and the power of imagination, this cherished Canadian musical continues to captivate audiences of all ages. In 1975, this was “Western Canada Theatre Company’s” first mainstage musical. Valerie Easton, who played Anne in that show, will be returning as choreographer for this 50th anniversary production.
